Last week the number of bacteria in a petri dish was 2.25×102. This week the number of bacteria in the petri dish is 2.75×105. How many times more bacteria are in the petri dish this week?

Round the decimal to the nearest tenth.

(2.75 x 10⁵ ) / (2.25 x 10² )

= (2.75 / 2.25) x 10⁵⁻²

= 1.2 x 10³ times .

(That's 1,200 times as many.)

I hope this helps!

Answer:

1221.2 times more

Step-by-step explanation:

number of bacteria last week = [tex]2.25*10^2[/tex]

= [tex]2.25*100[/tex]

= [tex]225[/tex]

number of bacteria this week = [tex]2.75*10^5[/tex]

= [tex]2.75*100000[/tex]

= [tex]275000[/tex]

[tex]275000 - 225 = 274775[/tex]

[tex]274775 / 225 = 1221.2[/tex]
