Question

An office upgrades its internet speed from 15^6 bits per second to 15^9 bits per second. How many times greater is the new internet speed? The new internet speed is times greater.

Answer 1

The new internet speed is 3375 times greater.

Explanation:

Internet speed from:

`15^6` bits per second

to
`15^9` bits per second

How many times greater is the new internet speed?

Ratio between the new internet speed by the old one.

`$(15^9)/(15^6) = 15^3=3375$`

Answer 2

So 15^6 is the same thing as 15x15x15x15x15x15

and 15^9 is the same thing as 15x15x15x15x15x15x15x15x15

so the internet speed is 3 times greater
