Answer:

C.
2* 10^7 is 5 times larger than
4* 10^6

Explanation:

We want to compare
4* 10^6 and
2* 10^7.


In order to determine how many times


2* 10^7

is larger than


4* 10^6,

we need to divide
2* 10^7 by
4* 10^6 to obtain;



(2* 10^7)/(4* 10^6) =(10)/(2) =5


Therefore we can see that;



2* 10^7 is 5 times larger than
4* 10^6


The correct answer is C.
