Question

20 POINTS! How many times larger is 3 x 1015 than 6 x 1010?

A) 2 x 104


B) 2 x 105


C) 5 x 104


D) 5 x 105

Answer 1

To find how many times larger one number is than another, we need to divide the larger number by the smaller one.

(3 x 10^15) / (6 x 10^10)

= (3/6) * (10^15 / 10^10)

= 0.5 * 10^5

= 5 x 10^4

So the answer is:

C) 5 x 10^4
