For this case we must calculate the values of the unknowns.
We have then:
[tex]x * 10 ^ 5[/tex] is 3,000 times greater than[tex] 2.3 * 10 ^ 2[/tex]
We have the following equation:
[tex](x * 10 ^ 5) / (2.3 * 10 ^ 2) = 3000
[/tex]
From here, we clear the value of x:
[tex]x = (10 ^ 2/10 ^ 5) * (2.3 * 3000)
x = 6.9[/tex]
Then, on the other hand we have:
"and is _____ times greater than 1.38 × 101"
That is, we have the following equation:
[tex](6.9 * 10 ^ 5) / (1.38 * 10 ^ 1) = y
[/tex]
The value of y is:
[tex]y = 50000
[/tex]
Answer:
6.9 × 105 is 3,000 times greater than 2.3 × 102 and is 50000 times greater than 1.38 × 101.
