Question

9 x 10 to the power of 2 how many times as much as 3 x 10 to the -2 power

Answer 1

3×10^4

Explanation:

The desired factor is found by calculating the ratio of the two numbers:

k = (9×10^2)/(3×10^-2) = (9/3)×10^(2 -(-2)) = 3×10^4

The first number is 3×10^4 = 30,000 times as much as the second number.
