Question

About how many times larger is 8.75 x 10-2 than 4.35 x 10-47 20 times 50 times 100 times 200 times

Answer 1

Let:

k = scale factor:

$k\cdot4.35\times10^{-4}=8.75\times10^{-2}$

Solve for k:

$\begin{gathered} k=\frac{8.75\times10^{-2}}{4.35\times10^{-4}} \\ k\approx200 \end{gathered}$

answer:

200 times
