5.1 ×: 0.6

: Research into cardiovascular risks for HIV-infected women showed baseline HIV-1 RNA levels averaging with a standard deviation of log10log base 10 of copies/ml.

To put this into perspective, we can think of 0.6 as being 60% of 1. So, when we multiply 5.1 by 0.6, we're essentially finding 60% of 5.1. In this case, 60% of 5.1 is equal to 3.06. 5.1 × 0.6

51 × 6 = 306

Remember that fraction from Step 1? We need to divide by $10$ (move the decimal one spot to the left). $30.6 \div 10 =$ 💥 $3.06$ : Research into cardiovascular risks for HIV-infected women
