Question

How many times larger is (1.088 x 101) than (8 x 10−1)?

13.6
8.704
7.35
0.136

Answer 1

0.136

Explanation:

If we want to find out how many times larger a number is, they need to have the same amount of exponents to make it easier.

We can move the decimal point in (8 * 10^-1) (which equals 0.8) by 1 to the right, so it's exponent is now 1, same as the (1.088 * 10^1). Now we can divide.

1.088/8 is 0.136, so that is your answer.
