(2.75 x 10⁵ ) / (2.25 x 10² )


= (2.75 / 2.25) x 10⁵⁻²


= 1.2 x 10³ times .


(That's 1,200 times as many.)

Answer: There are 1.2\times10^3 times more bacteria in the petri dish this week compared to last week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Last week the number of bacteria in a petri dish = 2.25\times10^2

This week the number of bacteria in the petri dish =2.75\times10^5

Now, the number of times more bacteria are in the petri dish this week will be :

\dfrac{2.75\times10^5}{2.25\times10^2}\\\\\\=\dfrac{2.75}{2.25}\times10^{5-2}\ \ \text{Since} , a^m\times a^n=a^{m+n}\\\\\\=1.22222222222\times10^3\approx 1.2\times10^3

Hence, There are 1.2\times10^3 times more bacteria in the petri dish this week compared to last week.

<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step:</u>

 

<u>First let's set up the equation for the cost for one week of renting the car</u>

  • agency charges $230 per week

              charge = 230

  • agency charges $0.25 per mile (<em>lets set the number of miles as 'x')</em>

<em>               </em>charge = 230 + 0.25x

<u>The total cost was 415</u>, <em>therefore:</em>

             415 =230 + 0.25x\\185 = 0.25x\\x = 740

Therefore, you traveled 740 miles

<u>Answer: 740 miles</u>

<u></u>

Hope that helps!
