Answer 1

I hope this helps you

Answer 2

5,000,000 times larger.

Explanation:

We are asked to find
`3* 10^(-5)` in how many times greater than
`6* 10^(-12)`.

To solve our given problem, we will divide
`3* 10^(-5)` by
`6* 10^(-12)` as shown below:

`(3* 10^(-5))/(6* 10^(-12))`

Using exponent rule
`(a^m)/(a^n)=a^(m-n)`, we will get:

`(3* 10^(-5))/(6* 10^(-12))=(3)/(6)* 10^(-5-(-12))`

`(3* 10^(-5))/(6* 10^(-12))=(1)/(2)* 10^(-5+12)`

`(3* 10^(-5))/(6* 10^(-12))=0.5* 10^(7)`

`(3* 10^(-5))/(6* 10^(-12))=0.5* 10,000,000`

`(3* 10^(-5))/(6* 10^(-12))=5,000,000`

Therefore,
`3* 10^(-5)` is 5,000,000 times larger than
`6* 10^(-12)`.
