Answer:
81
Step-by-step explanation:
To do "how many times greater" problems, you divide. Think how you would answer this: How many times greater is 48 than 6? Dividing the larger 48 by the smaller 6 gives 8. 48 is 8 times greater than 6.
Do the same thing for these two masses.
6 x 10^24 divided by 7.4 x 10^22 is about 81.

The awnser is Shari is using the same ratio as Mark's
We use the formula a^2 - b^2 = ( a - b )( a + b );
We have a = 5m - 2 and b = 3m - 4;
<span>(5m-2)^2-(3m-4)^2 = (5m - 2 -3m + 4) x (5m-2 + 3m - 4) = (2m + 2)(8m - 6) = 2(m +1) x 2(4m - 3) = 4(m+1)(4m-3);

128 ounces in a gallon
The pack is 33.84 ounces in total
gallon for 7=18 cents per ounce
pack for 2.39 is .07 cents per ounce
So the pack is a better deal
