Answer 1

4 * 10^8

Explanation:

400,000,000 =4 * 10^8

1.2 * 10^9

1.2*10 ^9 / 4 * 10^8 = 0.3 * 10= 3

Answer 2

The number of desktop internet users are 3 times more than the number of mobile internet users.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of mobile internet users = 400,000,000

`400,000,000 = 4* 10^(8)`

Number of desktop internet user =

`1.2 * 10^9`

Comparison of values:

`=\frac{\text{Number of desktop internet user}}{\text{Number of mobile interet user}}\\\\=(1.2* 10^9)/(4* 10^8)\\\\=0.3* 10\\=3`

Thus, the number of desktop internet users are 3 times more than the number of mobile internet users.
