Question

How many times larger ?

Answer 1

First answer seems to be correct

Answer 2

100,000

Explanation:

So, when they say how many times larger 3x10^6 is than 3x10^1, they need you to divide 3x10^6 by 3x10^1.

When doing division and multiplcation with exponents, you subtract and add.

So, we have
`(3*10^6)/(3*10^1)`

The 3, that doesnt have a exponent on top or bottom, cancels out:

So now we have
`(10^6)/(10^1)`

Finally, since we are dividing 10^6 by 10^1, we are actually subtracting the exponents:

So we have
`10^5`

When you distrubute the ^5, you get:

100,000

So this is how many times bigger 3*
`10^6` is than 3*
`10^1`

HOpe this helps! :D
