Question

In bioligy class cher is viewing cells with a microscope. cell h measures 8.76x10^-3 microns in diameter and cell v measures 2.19x10^-5 microns in diameter. how many tines larger is the bigger cell than the smaller cell?

Answer 1

Larger cell 400 times bigger cell than the smaller cell

Explanation:

Given:

diameter of the cell h =
`8.76*10^(-3)`

diameter of the cell v =
`2.19 *10^(-5)`

To Find:

How many tines larger is the bigger cell than the smaller cell?

Solution:

The cell h with diameter
`8.76* 10^(-3)` is larger and the cell v with diameter
`2.19 * 10^(-5)` is small. To find the number of times it is larger, we can divide the larger cell diameter by smaller cell diameter

=>
`(8.76* 10^(-3))/(2.19 * 10^(-5))`

=>
`\frac{8.76* 10^ {-3} * 10^(5)}{2.19 }`

=>
`\frac{8.76* 10^ {(-3+5)}}{2.19 }`

=>
`(8.76* 10^2)/(2.19 )`

=>
`(876)/(2.19)`

=> 400

Larger cell is the bigger cell than the smaller cell by 400 times
