Question

How many times larger is 6*10^ 7 than 3*10^ 6 ?

Answer 1

20

Explanation:

`(6 * 10^7)/(3 * 10^6) = (6)/(3) * 10^(7 - 6) = 2 * 10^1 = 20`

Answer 2

20

Explanation:

step 1: Evaluate the expressions

6*10^7 = 60,000,000

3*10^6 = 3,000,000

step 2: Devide

60,000,000 / 3,000,000 = 20

so 60,000,000 is 20 times larger than 3,000,000

Your teacher might want you to use a different method, but I believe this is the simplest way. If you have any questions feel free to ask away
