Answer:

$2^53^5$

Step-by-step explanation:

So if we compare $2^5 \cdot 3^7$ to $2^7 \cdot 3^5$ , we should see the most amount of factors of 2 that they have in common is 5 and the most amount of factors of 3 that they have in common is 5.

If you aren't sure on the number of factors of 2 and 3 they have in common you could write it all out:

$2^53^7=(2)(2)(2)(2)(2)\cdot\text{ }(3)(3)(3)(3)(3)(3)(3$

$2^73^5=(2)(2)(2)(2)(2)(2)(2)\text{ }(3)(3)(3)(3)(3)$

So if I were able to circle each pair of 2's they had in common I would circle 5 pairs.

If were able to circle each pair of 3's they had in common I would circle 5 pairs.

The average grain of salt is 0.0003 meters wide. Rhinovirus, which causes the common cold, is 0.00000003 meters wide. How many t

algol [13]

Answer:

$1\times 10^4\ times$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Width of average grain of salt is, $w=0.0003\ m$

Width of Rhinovirus is, $W=0.00000003\ m$

Now, expressing each width in scientific notation form, we get:

$w=0.0003\ m = 3\times 10^{-4}\ m\\\\W=0.00000003\ m = 3\times 10^{-8}\ m$

Now, in order to get how many times 'W' is wider than 'w', we divide the two widths. This gives,

$\frac{W}{w}=\frac{3\times 10^{-4}\ m}{3\times 10^{-8}\ m}\\\\\frac{W}{w}=1\times 10^{-4-(-8)}=1\times 10^{-4+8}=1\times 10^4\\\\\therefore W=1\times 10^4\times w$
