The mass of a proton is approximately 1.67 x 10−24, and the mass of an electron is approximately 9.11 x 10−28. Find the approximate ratio of the mass of the proton to the mass of the electron.

1.67x[10^(-20)] 1.67x[10^(-24+28)]
--------------------- = -------------------------- =
9.11x[10^(-28)] 9.11

.183315(10^4)=1833.15

The proton mass is about 1833 times an electron mass

Hope this helps!
