Question

How many times larger is (1.008 × 10^1) than (6 × 10^−1)?

Answer 1

To find out how many times larger (1.008 × 10^1) is than (6 × 10^−1), we can divide the two numbers.

First, let's simplify both numbers.

(1.008 × 10^1) = 10.08

(6 × 10^−1) = 0.6

Now, let's divide 10.08 by 0.6 to get the answer.

10.08 ÷ 0.6 = 16.8

So, (1.008 × 10^1) is 16.8 times larger than (6 × 10^−1).

Answer 2

16.8 times

Explanation:

To compare the coefficients, we can write both numbers without scientific notation:

• 
  `1.008 * 10^1 = 10.08`

• 
  `6 * 10^(-1) = 0.6`

Now we can divide the larger number by the smaller number to find out how many times larger it is:

• 
  `10.08 / 0.6 = 16.8`

Therefore, (
`1.008 * 10^1`) is 16.8 times larger than (
`6 * 10^(-1)`).
