An electronics manufacturer makes silicon nanowires for very small electronic components. The quality-control measurements are shown in the table.
| Measurement | Diameter in nm\text{nm}nm |
|---|---|
| One silicon atom | 0.22 |
| One nanowire | 47 |
Calculate how many silicon atom diameters would fit across the diameter of one nanowire.
