Is “three ten-millionths of an inch” the same as “thirty millionths of an inch”?

$begingroup$


I was reading this article when I came across a fraction that was difficult for me to comprehend:




three ten-millionths of an inch




I thought to myself that wouldn't this be the equivalent of:




thirty millionths of an inch




However, the thought then occurred to me that they must be two completely different values. The problem is that with the numbers being so small, I'm having a difficult time scaling this up to a bigger number that would make more sense ($frac{1}{3}$ for example).




Are the two phrases interchangeable, or am I correct in thinking they have two different values? How can each be represented with a larger fraction to ease comprehension?

    It's not clear what you mean by thirty-millionths, because it doesn't make sense as it stands: you might mean thirty millionths (no hyphen!), that is 30/1 000 000; or one thirty-millionth, that is 1/30 000 000. (But neither of these is equal to three ten-millionths, that is 3/10 000 000.)

    @TonyK Thank you for clarifying that point; I'll edit the post as it was unclear to me what the number was as well; but I would like to believe the first case of $frac{30}{1000000}$. I simply included the hyphen as I didn't understand the nature of its placement there.

    The issue is that the phrase 'a ten-millionth' is a bit misleading, or ambiguous at least, to someone unfamiliar with the terminology. It doesn't mean 'ten millionths'; it means 'a tenth of a millionth'. But you've interpreted it as the former. Just as millionth means 1/(a million), ten-millionth, i.e. (ten-million)th (not ten millionths), means 1/(ten million).

Don't confuse yourself.



Use simpler terms. "three quarters of an inch" means "$3times frac 14$ inch" or "$frac 3{4}$ inch".



It does not mean "one three$times$fourth" = "$frac 1{3times 4}=frac 1{12}$ inch"



Like wise "three ten-millionths of an inch" means "$3 times frac 1{10,000,000} = frac 3{10,000,000}$"



It does not mean $frac 1{3times 10,000,000} = frac {1 }{30,000,000}$.

They are different values, three ten-millionth is $frac{3}{10times 1000000} = 3cdot 10^{-7}$ and thirty-millionth is $frac{1}{30times 1000000}=3.bar{333}cdot 10^{-8}$.

Not the same.



Three ten-millionths would be (3/10 million) X 1 inch = 0.3 inches divided by 1 million. Thirty millionths of an inch would be 30 times an inch divided by 1 million. So they are different by two orders of magnitude.



I think 0.3 millionths of an inch would be the right description (not that it is any easier to comprehend...).



I think micro ($10^{-6}$), nano ($10^{-9}$), and pico ($10^{-12}$) come in really handy when dealing with small numbers. For example, 1 millionth of an inch can be called 1 micro-inch or 1 $mu$i. Then, 0.3 millionths of an inch becomes $0.3mu$i or 300 nano-inches.
