Alright. This is an inanely large amount of words, as a drill for scientific notation. The first step is, since the mystery book has 2,029,242 words, to turn this into a single digit multiplied by a power of ten - 2.029242 times (apologies for the weird font change in the middle). The science fiction book is 3.5 times larger - multiply 2.029242 on a calculator (unless you really like suffering for some reason; then do it by hand) - it comes out as 7.102347. Thus, the answer is 7.102347 times .
