If you need to, you can write and solve an equation for the factor you seek.
... 6×10^10 = factor × 2×10^-3
Divide by 2×10^-3 to find the value of the factor:
... (6×10^10)/(2×10^-3) = factor
... factor = (6/2)×10^(10-(-3))
... factor = 3×10^13
The first number is 3×10^13 times the second number.
_____
An exponent signifies repeated multiplication.
... 10×10×10 = 10³
Just as you cancel common factors when you do division, you can subtract exponents.

The same process works regardless of the signs of the exponents. When multiplying, we add exponents; when dividing we subtract the exponent of the denominator.
Okay I did the work and I think it’s either answer a or b but goodluck sorry
But I still don’t understand this.
The answer is 42 cause you do ( 18*28=12x) wich is 504=12x which equals 42
Answer: 1:10,000
Step-by-step explanation:
given data:
distance of the nearest star system = 100,000,000
distance to size ration of the sun earth system = 10,000
therefore;
100,000,000 / 10,000
= 10,000
The order of magnitude of the distance to size ratio of the Sun- Nearest Star system is about 1:10,000 times that of the Sun-Earth system.
