Enter your answer, in standard notation, in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

  4000

Step-by-step explanation:

Your calculator can work this problem for you.

  $\dfrac{1.08\times 10^{15}}{2.7\times 10^{11}}=\dfrac{10800\times 10^{11}}{2.7\times 10^{11}}=\dfrac{10800}{2.7}=4000$

Dish A has 4000 times as many bacteria as dish B.
