Respuesta :

Answer:

Red Cell is 300 times larger than the virus

Step-by-step explanation:

Size in scientific Notation

  • Red Cell = 9 * 10^-6
  • Virus = 9 * 10^-8

Procedure.

  • Count the number of zeros in the decimal
  • Red Cell = 5 ; virus = 7
  • And one more to each
  • Red Cell = 6; virus = 7
  • change the numbers to minus
  • Red Cell = -6 ; virus = - 7
  • The last row is the powers as shown above.

Answer

9*10^-6/3 * 10^-8

3*10^(-6 - - 8)

3*10^(-  6 + 8)

3^10^2 or 300 times larger

Answer:
