Ant's mass: 4 x 10 - 3
Elephant's mass: 8 x 106
First, we should evaluate these expressions by using PEMDAS. PEMDAS stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. From P to S is the order that we must follow these steps.
So first for the ant's mass, we have to multiply first since the M comes before the S, resulting in 40 - 3 grams.
Next we have to subtract, leading us to getting 37.
For the elephant since there is only one operation, all we have to do is multiply, which equals 848.
In order to see how many times larger the elephant is than the ant, we have to divide the elephant's mass by the ant's.
848/37 = 22.9
Since you only want an approximate answer, you can put down 23 or even go a bit more vague and put down 20.
