Put these prefixes in order of increasing size. Put 1 for the smallest, 2 for the next largest, etc.

1. tera-
2. centi-
3. nano-
4. giga-
5. milli-
6. mega-
7. micro-
8. kilo-

Expert Solution

All these prefixes correspond to powers of 10.
For example, Tera is 10 to the power of 10.
Terabyte of information means 10,000,000,000 = 10^10 bytes of information.

Here is the list of the corresponding powers:

tera: 10
centi: -2
nano: -9
giga: 9
milli: -3
mega: 6
micro: -6
kilo: 3

Thus, sorting them from the smallest to the largest we get:

1. nano -9
2. micro -6
3. milli -3
4. centi -2
5. kilo 3
6 .mega 6
7. giga 9
8. tera 10
