How much greater is 3, point, 8, times, 10, to the power minus 53.8×10
−5
than 2, point, 2, times, 10, to the power minus 82.2×10
−8
? Express your answer using either standard notation or scientific notation.
First, let's find 3.8 × 10^(-5):
3.8 × 10^(-5) = 3.8 × 0.00001 = 0.000038
Next, let's find 2.2 × 10^(-8):
2.2 × 10^(-8) = 2.2 × 0.00000001 = 0.00000000022
Now, let's find the ratio of 3.8 × 10^(-5) to 2.2 × 10^(-8):
(3.8 × 10^(-5)) / (2.2 × 10^(-8)) = 3.8 / 2.2 × 10^(5 - (-8)) = 1.727 × 10^13
Therefore, 3.8 × 10^(-5) is 1.727 × 10^13 times greater than 2.2 × 10^(-8).
