Question

A culture of 1.08×1015 bacteria is in petri dish A. A culture of 2.7×1011 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

Answer 1

Answer:

4,000 times greater 4*10^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Culture in petri dish A is 1.08 x 10^15 and culture in petri dish B is 2.7 X 10^11. To determine how much greater petri dish A is from petri dish b, you must divide petri dish A by petri dish b. When you divide the two numbers, the answer is 4,000. The number of bacteria in petri dish A is four thousand times greater than the number of bacteria in petri dish B.
