Question

A culture of
`1.08`×
`10^(15)` bacteria is in petri dish A. A culture of
`2.7`×
`10^(11)` bacteria is in petri dish B.

How many times greater is the number of bacteria in petri dish A than petri dish B?

Enter your answer, in standard notation, in the box.

Answer 1

4000

Explanation:

Your calculator can work this problem for you.

`(1.08* 10^(15))/(2.7* 10^(11))=(10800* 10^(11))/(2.7* 10^(11))=(10800)/(2.7)=4000`

Dish A has 4000 times as many bacteria as dish B.
