May anyone help please

Answer 1

Depending on how flexibly you interpret "about 20 times larger" to mean, the answers are B and D.

Check the ratios of the larger number to the smaller number:

A: (2.01 x 10^7)/(4.25 x 10^6) = 2.01/4.25 x 10^1 = 20.1/4.25 = 4.729

B: (8.21 x 10^-3)/(4.13 x 10^-4) = 8.21/4.13 x 10^1 = 82.1/4.13 = 19.879

C: (4.91 x 10^6)/(5.09 x 10^3) = 4.91/5.09 x 10^3 = 4910/5.09 = 964.637

D: (5.97 x 10^4)/(3.12 x 10^3) = 5.97/3.12 x 10^1 = 59.7/3.12 = 19.135
