Answer 1

Annual Statistics Concerning Water Bottles in the United States

Bottles Purchased: 5 * 10^10

Bottles Recycled: 8.333333333 * 10^9

50/8.333333333 = approx 6
The number of bottles purchased is 6 times larger than those that were recycled.



Annual Statistics Concerning Coastal Erosion

California Coastal Erosion: 3 * 10^1

Louisiana Coastal Erosion: 1 * 10^3
(10 meters = 1000 centimeters)

1000/3 = 333 1/3
The coastal erosion in Louisiana is 333 1/3 times greater than coastal erosion in California.



Size of the Sun and Earth

Radius of Sun: 6.955 * 10^8
(695,500 km = 695,500,000)

Radius of Earth: 6.371 * 10^6

695.5/6.371 = approx 109.2
The radius of the Sun in 109.2 times larger than that of the Earth.



Number of Brain Cells

Ant Brain Cells: 2.5 * 10^5

Human Brain Cells: 1 * 10^10
(10,000 mil = 10,000,000,000)

100,000/2.5 = 40,000
A human has 40,000 times the amount of brain cells an ant has.
