The Thai Pepper has a hotness rating of 7.5 x 10^(4) on the Scoville scale. The Red Savina Habanero has a hotness rating of 4.6 x 10^(5) on the Scoville scale.
How many times hotter is the Red Savina Habanero than the Thai
Pepper?
A. Divide (7.5 x 10^(4))/(4.6 x 10^(5)) = 7.5/4.6 x 10^(4-5) = 1.63 x 10^(1) = 16.3 times hotter
B. Divide ((4.6 x 10^(5)/7.5 x 10^(4)) = 4.6/7.5 x 10^(5-4) = 0.613 x 10^(1) = 6.13 times hotter
C. Multiply (7.5 x 10^(4))x (4.6 x 10^(5))=(7.5 x 4.6 ) x (10^(4x5)) = 34.5 x 10^(20 )=3.45 x
D. Multiply (7.5 x 10^(4))x (4.6 x 10^(5))=(7.5 x 4.6 ) x (10^(4+5)) = 34.5 x 10^(9)=3.45 x times hotter
