Step-by-step explanation:
there must be something wrong with your text.
what we can see is
3.8 × 105
and
1.9 × 1022
the true answer for these values has nothing to do with the 4 answer options.
maybe you meant
1.9 × 10.5 ?
because that answer would be 20.
but first working with the presented numbers :
3.8 × 105 = 399
1.9 × 1022 = 1941.8
so, the second number is actually much bigger than the first number.
but if it is
1.9 × 10.5 = 19.95
that works.
and we can either use the calculator to calculate
399 / 19.95 = 20
or we can simply look at the factor changes of the multiplication terms.
3.8 = 1.9 × 2
105 = 10.5 × 10
so, the multiplication product of the two larger numbers is then 2×10=20 times larger than the product of the 2 smaller numbers.
