Question

The mass of a clownfish is 2.5 x 10 to the negative 1 power kilograms. The mass of a pilot whale is 3 x 10 to the third power kilograms. About how many times as massive is the pilot whale than the clownfish?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mass of pilot whale is 1.2 X 10 ^4 times massive than Mass of clownfish.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of clown fish = 2.5 X 10 ^-1 kg

Mass of pilot whale = 3 X 10 ^ 3 kg

Find the ratio of Mass of pilot whale to the ratio of Mass of clown fish

Mass of pilot whale : Mass of clown fish

3 X 10 ^ 3 : 2.5 X 10 ^-1

It can be written as

3 X 10 ^ 3 / 2.5 X 10 ^-1

1.2 x 10^4

So, Mass of pilot whale is 1.2 X 10 ^4 times massive than Mass of clownfish.
