The number of viruses was 4000 times greater than number of protozoa.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Number of protozoa = 
Number of viruses = 
Let,
x be the number of times number of viruses is greater than number of protozoa.
Number of viruses = Number of time * Number of protozoa

Dividing both sides by 

The number of viruses was 4000 times greater than number of protozoa.
