Answer 1

Answer:

Given: Ellentown college has approximately 3 times 10 to the 3 power students and pengrove university approximate 30,000 students.

⇒ number of students approximately in Ellentown college = $3 \times 10^3$

the number of students approximately in Pengrove university = 30,000 or $3 \times 10^4$

We have to find how many times as much is the number of students at pengrove university as the number of students at Ellentown college.

$\frac{number of students in Pengrove University}{number of students in Ellentown college}$ = $\frac{3 \times 10^4}{3 \times 10^3} = 1 \times 10^1 = 10$

therefore, 10 times as much is the number of students at pengrove university as the number of students at Ellentown college.
