Answer:
16 basket with 3 soaps and 4 lotions
Step-by-step explanation:
Ms. Winter has 48 soaps and 64 bottles of lotion.
She wants to use all of her inventory to make as many gift baskets as she can using the same number of bath soaps and the same number of lotion bottles in each gift basket.
So we will calculate the Greatest Common Factor of both the numbers.
GCF of 48, 64
Factors of 48 = 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24 and 48
Factors of 64 = 2, 4, 8, and 16
Common factors are 2, 4, 8, and 16
The greatest common factor = 16
Therefore, she can make 16 gift baskets
The number of bath soaps in each basket =
= 3
The number of bottles of lotion in each basket =
= 4
She can make 16 gift basket, in each basket she can put 3 soaps and 4 bottle of lotion

Here we need to compare the orders of magnitude of two measures.
We will see that the bacteria is<em> 300 times larger than the virus.</em>
We know that:
The diameter of the virus-cell is:
The diameter of the bacteria cell is:
So, to compare them, first notice that both are in the same units, meters, so we only need to <u>compare the numbers</u>.
Is common sense to identify the one with the largest exponent as the largest number, and the largest exponent is -7, thus <u>the bacteria should be the larger one.</u>
But let's prove this with math, remember the property:
Let's take the quotient between the diameters and see what we get, I will use the <u>diameter of the bacteria in the numerator</u>, thus <u>if the quotient is larger than 1, it would mean that the bacteria is greater and by how much.</u>
So we can say that the bacteria is 3*10^2 = 3*100 = 300 times larger than the virus.
