Question

James had a peach that was 98 mm in diameter. One day he watered it with a magical solution, and it grew to 188,869 mm in diameter.Approximately how many times as large did the diameter of the peach become after James watered it?

Answer 1

2×10^3

Explanation:

Answer 2

For this case we have that the initial and final peach diameters are:

`D_ {i} = 98 \ mm\\D_ {f} = 188,869 \ mm`

According to the difference percentage we have:

`\frac {188,869-98} {98} = 0.927`

That is to say, the peach grew by almost 93%. That is, almost twice its diameter.

Answer:

the peach grew by almost 93%. That is, almost twice its diameter.
