A culture of 1.75×1018 bacteria is in petri dish A. A culture of 6.25×1015 bacteria is in petri dish B. How many times greater is the number of bacteria in petri dish A than petri dish B? Enter your answer, in standard notation, in the box.

Respuesta :

To determine the extent of how many times greater is the number of bacteria in petri dish A than petri dish B, we simply have to take the ratio of the two.

1.75 x 10^18 / 6.25 x 10^15 = 280

So the bacteria in petri dish A is 280 times larger.

 

In scientific notation:

2.8 x 10^2

Answer:

280 is the answer, I did the test.
