Question

Approximately how many times greater is 2.3 x 10^-4 than 1.15 x 10^8

Answer 1

It won't be any much greater since 2.3* 10^-4= 0.00023 and 1.15 * 10^8= 115000000 then you would have to subtract which will still give you 115000000...

Answer 2

`2* 10^(-12)`

Explanation:

We are given that two numbers are

`2.3* 10^(-4)` and
`1.15* 10^8`

We have to find that how many times greater
`2.3* 10^(-4)` than
`1.15* 10^8` approximately.

In order to find that we divide
`2.3* 10^(-4)` by
`1.15* 10^8`

`(2.3* 10^(-4))/(1.15* 10^8)`

`(2.3* 10^(-4))/(1.15* 10^8)={230* 10^(-4-8)`

`(2.3* 10^(-4))/(1.15* 10^8)=2* 10^(-12)`

`2.3* 10^(-4)=2* 10^(-12)` times
`1.15* 10^8`

Hence,
`2.3* 10^(-4)` is
`2* 10^(-12)` times greater than
`1.15* 10^8`
