Question

A small telescope magnifies
objects 150 times. A large
observatory telescope
magnifies an object 3,300
times. How many times as
great is the magnification of
the observatory telescope
than the small telescope?

Answer 1

The observatory telescope has 22 times the magnifying power compared to the small telescope.

Data;

• small telescope = 150 times
• large telescope = 3300

Division of Numbers

To solve this question, we have to divide the large telescope by the small telescope to calculate it's magnifying power.

$x = \frac{3300}{150}=22$

The magnification of the observatory telescope is 22 times greater or larger than the small telescope.
