Answer:

160 times

Explanation:

If we have a value "A" and another value "B" (which is greater than A), to find how many times B is greater than A, we will divide B by A.

In this problem, we need how many times MASON - CHLOE is greater than MASON - KEVIN. Thus, we divide MASON - CHLOE distance by MASON - KEVIN distance.

Remember, dividing scientific notation numbers go by the rule shown below:


(a*10^c)/(d*10^e)=((a)/(d))*10^(c-e)

So we divide the constants and subtract the powers. So we have:


(8*10^7)/(5*10^5)=((8)/(5))*10^(7-5)=1.6*10^2

This becomes:


1.6*10^2=1.6*100=160

So masons to chloes house is 160 times greater than distance of mason to kevin's house
