Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to add or subtract numbers in scientific notation, the powers of ten must have the same exponent. In this caes the diameter of an average human body cell is a power of -4 and the diameter of a plant cell is a power of -3. In order to add them, we can move the decimal over for the body cell diameter:
Add the two values:

===============================================
Work Shown:
Beach ball
V = volume of sphere
V = (4/3)*pi*r^3
V = (4/3)*3.14*(6)^3 .... the beach ball has diameter 12, so radius is 6
V = 904.32
V = 904 cubic inches is the approximate volume of the beach ball
------------------------
Toy ball
V = volume of sphere
V = (4/3)*pi*r^3
V = (4/3)*3.14*(3)^3 .... the toy ball has diameter 6, so radius is 3
V = 113.04
V = 113 cubic inches is the approximate volume of the toy ball
--------------------------
Divide the two volumes to find that 904/113 = 8
This means that the beach ball is 8 times greater in volume compared to the toy ball
We can say
