The ISQ symbols for the bit and byte are bit and B, respectively.In the context of data-rate units, one byte consists of 8 bits, and is synonymous with the unit octet.The abbreviation bps is often used to mean bit/s, so that when a 1 Mbps connection is advertised, it usually means that the maximum achievable bandwidth is 1 Mbit/s (one million bits per second), which is 0.125 MB/s (megabyte per ...
1.2: 4.32: 2.68: 4 × 10 −9: Typical scanning speed of an audio compact disc; the speed of signals (action potentials) traveling along axons in the human cortex. 1–1.5: 3.6–5.4: 2.2–3.4: 3.3–5.0 × 10 −9: Average walking speed—below a speed of about 2 m/s, it is more efficient to walk than to run, but above that speed, it is more ...

Instead, it’s how many bits of information the brain processes in thoughts per second. Considering the sophistication of the human brain, that number is surprisingly low: only 10 bits per second.
So are 1 and 2, 1 and 9, or 1 and 0.2. However, 1 and 15 are not within an order of magnitude, since their ratio is 15/1 = 15 > 10. The reciprocal ratio, 1/15, is less than 0.1, so the same result is obtained. Differences in order of magnitude can be measured on a base-10 logarithmic scale in "decades" (i.e., factors of ten). [2]
