To do "how many times greater" problems, you divide. Think how you would answer this: How many times greater is 48 than 6? Dividing the larger 48 by the smaller 6 gives 8. 48 is 8 times greater than 6.

Do the same thing for these two masses.

6 x 10^24 divided by 7.4 x 10^22 is about 81.

MArishka [77]

<span>"The company pays $55 a day for food and lodging and $0.45 for each mile traveled" means that if she travels m miles and is on a trip for x days then Rita will receive:

55x + 0.45m dollars.

Rita drove 300 miles, means that m=300. Thus </span>55x + 0.45m becomes <span>

</span> $55x+0.45m=55x+0.45 \cdot 300=55x+135$ (dollars.)

She was reimbursed $2,335 means that $55x+135=2,335$ .

Part A: $55x+135=2,335$ .

Part B:

We are given the equation 55x+135=2,335. Subtracting 135 from both sides we have:

55x=2,335-135=2,200.

Dividing both sides by 55, we get: x=2,200/55=40.

Part C: since x represents the number of days Rita spend on this trip, and x=40, then Rita spent 40 days on this trip.
