Question

How many times larger is 3.19 x 10^8 than 8.23 x 10^5? SHOW YOUR WORK!!!

Answer 1

In order to find the number times something is larger than something, you have to use division where you divide the larger number by the smaller number.

So:

$\frac{3.19*10^8}{8.23*10^5} =387.6063183$

I'm not sure how much you want to round to,  but the answer is 387.6063183 times.

You can make sure by multiplying the smaller number by 387.6063183 and you should get the larger number:

$8.25*10^5*387.6063183=3.19*10^8$

Answer 2

The correct statement is that the number is 387.606 times large than another number.

What is Exponent?

Exponential notation is the form of mathematical shorthand which allows us to write complicated expressions more succinctly. An exponent is a number or letter is called the base. It indicates that the base is to raise to a certain power. X is the base and n is the power.

Given

$\rm 3.19*10^8 \ \ and \ \ 8.23 * 10^5$ are the two expressions.

How many times larger is $3.19*10^8$ than $8.23*10^5$?

$3.19*10^8$ can be written as $387.606*8.23*10^5$

So it is clear that $3.19*10^8$ is 387.606 times greater than $8.23*10^5$.

Thus, 387.606 times large.
