Question 3
The distance from Mason's house to Kevin's house is about 5 x 10 to the power of 5 inches. The distance from Mason's house to Chloe's house is about 8 x 10 to the power of 7 inches
The distance from Mason's house to Chloe's house is how many times greater than the distance from Mason's to Kevin's house?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  160

Step-by-step explanation:

Your calculator can compute the ratio of distances for you.

  $\dfrac{8\times10^7}{5\times10^5}=\dfrac{8}{5}\times10^{7-5}=1.6\times10^2=\boxed{160}$

Chloe's house is 160 times as far as Mason's house.
