Question

Charlotte biked 4.8 × 104 meters. Mary biked 1.2 × 103 meters. How many times farther did Charlotte bike than Mary?

Answer 1

I believe that Charlotte bikes 499.2 meters and Mary biked 123.6 meters, so Charlotte would’ve biked 375.6 more meters.

Answer 2

Charlotte:

4.8 * 104 = 499.2

Mary:

1.2 * 103 = 123.6

Divide 499.2 by 123.6

This will be 4.03883495.... round to your teacher’s specifics.
