Question

I need help Please . If Saturn`s mass is 5.685 * 10^32 , and Mercury`s mass is 3.302 * 10^29     then approximately how many times greater Saturn`s mass is than Mercury`s ?           possible answers are   ,        o 2,000,000     ,   o 200,000    ,       o 20,000           ,         o 2,000

Answer 1

It's the first answer choice 2,000,000 because of you scientific notation.

Answer 2

Answer: 2000 times

Explanation:

Given : The mass of Saturn =
`5.685*10^(32)`

The mass of Mercury =
`3.302 * 10{^29}`

Now, the number of times the Saturn's mass is greater than Mercury's mass is given by :-

`n=\frac{5.685*10^(32)}{3.302 * 10{^29}}\\\\=(5.685)/(3.302)*10^(32-29)\\\\=1.72168382798\atimes10^(3)\\\\=1721.68382798\approx2000`

Hence, the Saturn's mass is 2000 times greater than Mercury's mass.
