Question

in biology class, cher is viewing cells with a microscope. cell f measures 9×10^{-3} microns in diameter and cell p measures 1×10^{-6} microns in diameter. how many times larger is the bigger cell than the smaller cell? provide an answer as an integer or in scientific notation.

Explanation:

Step1: Compare cell sizes

Since \(9\times10^{-3}>1\times10^{-4}\), Cell F is bigger.

Step2: Calculate the ratio

\(\frac{9\times10^{-3}}{1\times10^{-4}} = 9\times10^{-3-(-4)}=9\times10^{1}\)

Answer:

\(9\times10^{1}\)
