Not quite...
Given:
nano = billionth
micro = millionth
milli = thousandth
centi = hundredth
kilo = thousand
mega = million
giga = billion
We get:
1 microphone is one millionth of a phone.
Therefore I million microphones= 1 phone. One million milliphones would be
one kilophone.
Don't ask me about shillings, pence, guineas, or pounds. I still haven't
figured that one out.
