THE ANSNERS IS A

Answer 1

Answer:

we conclude that 5 x 105 is 2.5 times larger than 2 x 105.

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparing 5 x 105 and 2 x 105

as

$5\:\times \:105$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:5\times \:105=525$

$=525$

Lets multiple 2 x 105 with 2.5 to check whether 5 x 105 is 2.5 times larger than 2 x 105 .

$2\times \:105\times \:2.5$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:2\times \:105\times \:2.5=525$

$=525$

As

• $5\times \:105=525$

• $2\times \:105\times \:2.5=525$

Therefore, we conclude that 5 x 105 is 2.5 times larger than 2 x 105.
