### Converting Distances Between Measurement Units

#### Example Problem

**Question 18 of 46**

*The distance between the centers of two oxygen atoms in an oxygen molecule is 1.21 × 10^-8 cm. What is this distance in nm?*

---

#### Interface Explanation

The provided interface is a tool that allows users to convert measurements between different units. Below is a breakdown of how the interface can be navigated for solving the example problem.

1. **Entry Panel for Units**: 
   - The left side includes buttons grouped by different units such as "mm", "cm", and "nm". 
   - Multipliers of these units are shown in different color-coded buttons (red and blue).

2. **Input Area**:
   - Fields are provided for users to input the given number, its unit, and the desired unit of conversion.
   - The problem statement specifies the given distance (1.21 × 10^-8) in centimeters and asks for the equivalent distance in nanometers (nm).

3. **Conversion Process**:
   - Users select the correct combination of buttons to represent the number and units they are starting with (in this case, 1.21 × 10^-8 cm).
   - The interface then allows users to select the desired unit for conversion, which is nm in this problem.

4. **Answer Box**:
   - Once the conversion units are input correctly, the converted answer will be displayed in the "ANSWER" box.
   - There’s also a reset button provided to clear the fields before starting a new conversion.

In this example, the correct conversion is identified by calculating how to convert centimeters (cm) to nanometers (nm). Given that 1 cm = 10^7 nm, the solution follows as:

\[ 1.21 \times 10^{-8} \text{ cm} \times 10^7 \frac{\text{nm}}{\text{cm}} = 1.21 \times 10^{-1} \text{ nm} = 0.121 \text{ nm} \]

Thus, the distance 1.21 × 10^-8 cm is equal to 0.121 nm.

Note: While using the interface for conversions, make sure to double-check your entries and selected units to ensure accuracy of your result.
