How many times smaller is 1.2 × 106 than 1.35 × 107?

11.25
2.55
1.47
0.15

Answer 1

Answer:To find out how many times smaller 1.2 × 10^6 is than 1.35 × 10^7, we can divide the larger number by the smaller number.

1.35 × 10^7 ÷ 1.2 × 10^6

When we divide these numbers, we subtract the exponents:

1.35 ÷ 1.2 = 1.125

10^7 ÷ 10^6 = 10^(7-6) = 10^1 = 10

So, 1.35 × 10^7 ÷ 1.2 × 10^6 = 1.125 × 10

Therefore, 1.2 × 10^6 is 1.125 times smaller than 1.35 × 10^7.
