Question

The length of cell A is 3x10-5 m. The length of cell B is 0.000001 m.What is the ratio of cell A's length to cell B's length? Use pencil and paper. Is it easier to find the ratiowhen the numbers are expressed in scientific notation or in standard form? Explain your reasoning.The ratio of cell A's length to cell B's length is(Type the ratio as a simplified fraction.)

Answer 1

we have the following:

`\begin{gathered} r=(L_A)/(L_B) \\ r=(3\cdot10^(-5))/(0.000001)=(3\cdot10^(-5))/(1\cdot10^(-6)) \\ r=30 \end{gathered}`

the rario is 30
