Question

A tiny area on a computer chip measures 2.3 x 10^-3 mm by 1.7 x 10^-4 mm. About how many times longer is the longer dimension than the shorter dimension?

A.1.35
b.6
c.7.4
d.13.5

Answer 1

To find how many times longer the longer dimension of a computer chip is than the shorter dimension, divide the longer dimension (2.3 x 10^-3 mm) by the shorter dimension (1.7 x 10^-4 mm), which gives us a ratio of approximately 13.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about the ratio of the lengths of two dimensions of a computer chip. To find how many times longer the longer dimension is than the shorter dimension, divide the longer dimension by the shorter dimension.

We have the dimensions as 2.3 x 10^-3 mm and 1.7 x 10^-4 mm. Calculating the ratio:

2.3 x 10^-3 mm / 1.7 x 10^-4 mm = (2.3/1.7) x 10^(-3 + 4)

This simplifies to 13.5294, which we can round to 13.5 to match the answer choices.

Therefore, the correct answer is d. 13.5.
