Answer:

1\times 10^4\ times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Width of average grain of salt is, w=0.0003\ m

Width of Rhinovirus is, W=0.00000003\ m

Now, expressing each width in scientific notation form, we get:

w=0.0003\ m = 3\times 10^{-4}\ m\\\\W=0.00000003\ m = 3\times 10^{-8}\ m

Now, in order to get how many times 'W' is wider than 'w', we divide the two widths. This gives,

\frac{W}{w}=\frac{3\times 10^{-4}\ m}{3\times 10^{-8}\ m}\\\\\frac{W}{w}=1\times 10^{-4-(-8)}=1\times 10^{-4+8}=1\times 10^4\\\\\therefore W=1\times 10^4\times w

Therefore, the grain of salt is 1\times 10^4\ times wider than Rhinovirus.

Erin writes the expression “ $6$ less than double a number.”
bixtya [17]

For this case we must algebraically rewrite the given expression. So:

x: It is the variable that represents an unknown number

"double a number" is represented as: 2x

"6 less than double a number" is represented as: 2x-6

So, the final expression is: 2x-6

If we want to rewrite the expression in an equivalent way, we take common factor 2:

2 (x-3)

Asnwer:

2x-6

Equivalent expression: 2 (x-3)
