Complete Question
The body of 154-pound person contains approximately 2 x 10^-1 milligrams of gold and 6 x 10^1 milligrams of aluminum.
Based on this information, the number of milligrams of aluminum in the body is how many times the number of milligrams of gold in the body?
Answer:
300 times
Explanation:
From the above question, we are told:
The body of 154-pound person contains approximately 2 x 10^-1 milligrams of gold and 6 x 10^1 milligrams of aluminum.
We create a proportion
2 × 10^-1 mg of gold : 6 × 10^1 mg of aluminum
= 0.2 mg of gold : 60 mg of aluminum
Therefore, the number of milligrams of aluminum in the body is how many times the number of milligrams of gold in the body is calculated as:
60mg ÷ 0.2 mg
= 300
Therefore, the number of milligrams of aluminum in the body is 300 times the number of milligrams of gold in the body
