Question

How many times larger is 1.71 x 10^7 than 9.98 x 10^6?

Answer 1

1.71x10⁷ is 1.7134 times larger than 9.98x10⁶

How many times larger is 1.71x10⁷ than 9.98x10⁶?

To check this, we need to take the quotient between the first number and the second one.

We will get:

`(1.71*10^7)/(9.98*10^6) = (1.71)/(9.98)*(10^7)/(10^6)`

The quotient of the second fraction is just 10.

We can simplify this as follows:

`(1.71)/(9.98)*(10^7)/(10^6) = 1.7134`

So it is 1.7134 times larger.

Answer 2

Russia is 71.34% larger than Canada.

Russia is 1.71 times larger than Canada

Explanation:

See attached table.

Russia/Canada = (1.71x10^7/0.998x10^7) {Move the decimal point for Canada to make the exponents both equal to 7.

Russia/Canada = (1.71/0.998) The exponents cancel.

Ratio is 1.71
