Question

How many times larger is 4 x 10 12 than 8 x 10 7?

Answer 1

50000 times

Explanation:

Since these are given in scientific notation, we can convert them to have the same powers of 10. Converting 4*10^12 to something times 10^7, we can get 4*10^5*10^7. So we divide 400000 by 8 to see how many times larger it is than 8. So we get 50000 times as our answer.
