Question

Last year a business earned 4.1*10^6 dollars in income.This year the business earned 2.05*10^8 dollars in income.Which best describes how this year’s earnings compare to last year’s earnings

Answer 1

Answer:

This year the business earned about 50 times as much as it did last year

Step-by-step explanation:

I got this answer because you have to have the same exponents so for the last year's income the exponent is 6 so you have to raise that up to 8 so you have to move the decimal of 4.1, two places to the left which will get you 0.041 and so you divide 2.05 by 0.041 and you get 50 so 2.05 is 50 times bigger than 0.041. I hope this helped.
