Question

A tomato has a mass of 100 grams. the mass of an ant is 4.0 X 10-3 grams. the mass of the tomato is how many times greater than the mass of the ant

Answer 1

The mass of the tomato is 25000 (or 2.5 * 10^4) times greater than the mass of an ant.

Explanation:

Mass of tomato / Mass of ant = How many times greater

4.0 x 10^-3 g = 0.004 g

100 g / 0.004 g = 25000

25000 = 2.5 * 10^4

Answer 2

25000

Explanation:

mass of tomato / mass of ant =

= 100 g / (4.0 × 10^-3)

= 100/4 × 10^3

= 25000
