a lab has two bacteria cultures. culture a contains 8*10^4 bacteria, and culture B contains 4*10^6 bacteria. how do the two cultures compare in size?
Please post what you know about these questions before you post any more.
Ms. sue i don't know anything its a new unit for me.

thanks for helping i guess.
That's the most left-handed compliment I've received in a long time.
my way
8*10^4 versus 400*10^4
so
400/8
or
50 times as many of B
ohh okay now i get it, thank you
whew :) great !
To compare the size of two bacteria cultures A and B, you can compare the number of bacteria present in each culture. In this case, culture A has 8 * 10^4 bacteria, and culture B has 4 * 10^6 bacteria.
To compare these values, it's helpful to rewrite them in standard form (also known as scientific notation).
Culture A:
8 * 10^4 = 8 * 10000 = 80000
Culture B:
4 * 10^6 = 4 * 1000000 = 4000000
Now, we can see that culture B has a larger number of bacteria (4000000) compared to culture A (80000).
Therefore, culture B is bigger in size than culture A.
