Question

A first grader measures 1 meter high. How much bigger is this first grader compared to the height of a bug that measures 1 millimeter high

Answer 1

1m = 100cm = 1000mm

A: 1000times greater or 10 to the power of 3 or 10e3

Answer 2

The first grader is 1000 times bigger than the bug.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of first grader = 1 m = 1000 mm

Height of bug = 1 mm

Dividing the height of the first grader by the height of the bug we get

`\frac{\text{Height of first grader}}{\text{Height of bug}}=(1000)/(1)\\\Rightarrow \text{Height of first grader}=1000* \text{Height of bug}`

∴ So, the first grader is 1000 times bigger than the bug.
