Answer:
Cell A : Cell B
20 : 1
Explanation:
The length of cell A is 2x10^-6m.
The length of cell A is in Scientific notation
The length of cell B is 0.0000001 m.
The length of cell B is in Standard form.
To find the ratio of Cell A to Cell B
We convert the length of Cell B to Scientific notation
= 0.0000001 m = 1 × 10^-7m
Cell A : Cell B
2 × 10^-6 : 1 × 10^ -7
2 × 10^-6/ 1 × 10^ -7 : 1 × 10^ -7/ 1 × 10^ -7
20 : 1
Is it easier to find the ratio when the numbers are expressed in scientific notation or in standard form? Explain your reasoning.
Yes it is easier to find the ratios when the numbers are expressed as scientific notation because Scientific notation is a methodology in mathematics that is used to write very large or very small number in a compact and easy form raised to the power of 10.
It is makes it easier to calculate or solve mathematical operations using numbers in Scientific notation.
