Question

In 1902,the yearly attendance at a major league baseball park was 3.14 • 10^5 people. One hundred years later,the yearly attendance was 1.7 • 10^6 fans. How many times greater was the attendance in 2002 than in 1902?

Answer 1

It is 5 times greater because the attendence in 2002 increases than in 1902

Answer 2

Answer: The number of attendance is 5 times greater than in 1902.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of attendance at a major league baseball park in 1902 =
`3.14* 10^5`

Number of attendance at a major league baseball park in 2002 =
`1.7* 10^6`

We need to find the number of times that the attendance in 2002 is greater than in 1902.

So, number of times becomes,

`(1.7* 10^6)/(3.14* 10^5)\\\\=5.41`

Hence, the number of attendance is 5 times greater than in 1902.
