Question

6 x 10^-2 is how many times a large as 2 x 10^-8?

Answer 1

6 x 10^-2= 0.06
2 x 10^-8= 0.00000002

Answer 2

Answer:

the number $6\,\,\,10^{-2}$ is three million times larger than $2\,\,\,10^{-8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this, just do the quotient of the first one over the second one, and use the rules for quotient of exponential expressions of the same base:

$\frac{6\,\,\,10^{-2}}{2\,\,\,10^{-8}} =\frac{6}{2} \,\frac{10^{-2}}{10^{-8}} =3\,\,\,10^{-2+8}=3\,\,\,10^6=3000000$

So the answer is: the number $6\,\,\,10^{-2}$ is three million times larger than $2\,\,\,10^{-8}$
