PLEASE HELP ME THIS IS DUE IN TWO HOURS! :(

Answer 1

Answer:

2.0 x $10^{1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. length = 3.2 x $10^{5}$ m

width = 1.6 x $10^{4}$ m

Area of a rectangle = length x width

                                = (3.2 x $10^{5}$) x (1.6 x $10^{4}$)

                                = 5.12 x $10^{9}$ $m^{2}$

2. length = 1.28 x $10^{7}$ m

   width = 8 x $10^{3}$ m

Area of a rectangle = length x width

                                 = (1.28 x $10^{7}$) x (8 x $10^{3}$)

                                 = 1.024 x $10^{11}$ $m^{2}$

$\frac{Area of rectangle 2}{Area of rectangle 1}$ = $\frac{1.024*10^{11} }{5.12*10^{9} }$

                       = 20

                       = 2.0 x $10^{1}$

Thus,

The area of rectangle 2 is 2.0 x $10^{1}$ times greater than the area of rectangle 1.
