Answer:

Option C is correct.

Explanation:

Given two numbers

$10* 10^9\text{ and } 99* 10^6$

we have to estimate about many times a number larger than another.

To estimate we have to divide.

(10* 10^9)/(99* 10^6) → (1)

As
(x^a)/(x^b)=x^(a-b)

Equation (1) implies

(10* 10^(9-6))/(99)

⇒
(10* 10^3)/(99)

⇒
$(10000)/(99)=101.01\sim 100\thinspace times$

Hence, 100 times larger.

Option C is correct.
