Answer 1

0.01485...

Explanation:

Given:

• A seal has 1,500 nerves per whisker
• This is 101,010 times as much as a rat has per whisker

We will:

• Divide the number 1,500 by 101,010

1,500 ÷ 101,010 = 0.0148500149

0.0148500149 ⇒ 0.01485 when rounded

Your answer: 0.0148500149, 0.01485 when rounded
