Answer 1

Given: Ellentown college has approximately 3 times 10 to the 3 power students and pengrove university approximate 30,000 students.

⇒ number of students approximately in Ellentown college =
`3 * 10^3`

also,

the number of students approximately in Pengrove university = 30,000 or
`3 * 10^4`

We have to find how many times as much is the number of students at pengrove university as the number of students at Ellentown college.

`(number of students in Pengrove University)/(number of students in Ellentown college)` =
`(3 * 10^4)/(3 * 10^3) = 1 * 10^1 = 10`

therefore, 10 times as much is the number of students at pengrove university as the number of students at Ellentown college.
