How many time larger is 6 x 10^8 than 2 x 10^-5

Answer 1

To compare the sizes of these numbers, we need to first convert them to the same format. Let's convert both numbers to scientific notation:

6 x 10^8 = 600,000,000
2 x 10^-5 = 0.00002

Now we can compare them:
600,000,000 / 0.00002 = 30,000,000,000

Therefore, 6 x 10^8 is 30 billion times larger than 2 x 10^-5.
