Question

An incomplete sentence is given. “The value of 2 x 1014 is times the value of 4 x 106" What number correctly completes the sentence?​

Answer 1

0.00000002

Explanation:

Let the unknown number be x.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

2 * 10¹⁴ * x = 4 * 10⁶

To find the value of x;

x = 4 * 10⁶/2 * 10¹⁴

x = 2 * 10^{-8}

Therefore, the value of 2 x 10¹⁴ is 0.00000002 times the value of 4 x 10⁶
