Answer:

2000 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sara:

Mercury = 3.302 * 10^{23

Saturn = 5.685 * 10^{26

Sam:

Mercury = 3.302 * 10^{29

Saturn = 5.685 * 10^{32

To determine the number of times, the mass of Saturn is greater than the mass of Mercury, we simply do the following:

Times = \frac{Saturn}{Mercury}

Using Sara's measurement; this gives:

Times = \frac{5.685 * 10^{26}}{3.302 * 10^{23}}

Apply law of indices

Times = \frac{5.685 * 10^{26-23}}{3.302}

Times = \frac{5.685 * 10^3}{3.302}

Times = 5.685/3.302 * 10^3

Times = 1.72 * 10^3

Approximate

Times = 2 * 10^3

Times = 2000
