Answer 1

7.96 × 10⁸ kg

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

• Mass of the Eiffel Tower (mE): 9.16 × 10⁶ kg

• Mass of the Golden Gate Bridge (mG): 8.05 × 10⁸ kg

Step 2: Determine how many more kilograms is the mass of the Golden Gate Bridge than the mass of the Eiffel Tower

To determine this ratio, we need to do the following subtraction.

mG - mE = 8.05 × 10⁸ kg - 9.16 × 10⁶ kg = 7.96 × 10⁸ kg

The Golden Gate Bridge has approximately 7.96 × 10⁸ kg more than the Eiffel Tower.
