Dear teachers,
I know that 1 MΩ is correct, with no plural form with a unit (Ω).
However, what about if you spell out?
"1 mega ohm" or "1 mega ohms"??
Which one (singular or plural) is correct?
I used to think that using a plural form (e.g., "ohms" in this case)
is correct as long as the number is more than one (1)--I mean not "1 million" or "1 mega" etc. but purely "one (1)".
Also, how about the number like 0.5?
Should it be treated as plural, thus "0.5 seconds" is correct (not "0.5 second")?
Hmmm, someone, please help me!
