A book-to-bill of 1.10 means that $110 worth of orders was received for every $100 of product billed for the month.rnThe three-month average of worldwide bookings in October 2009 was $756.2 million. The bookings figure is slightly less than the final September 2009 level of $758.9 million, and 9.9% less than the $839.7 million in orders posted in October 2008.
