Question

Compare 7 x 10^3 and 2 x 10^3.
a. 7 x 10^3 is 3.5 times larger than 2 x 10^3
b. 7 x 10^3 is twice as large as 2 x 10^3
c. 7 x 10^3 is 3 times larger than 2 x 10^3
d. 7 x 10^3 is 5 times larger than 2 x 10^3
e. 7 x 10^3 is 6 times larger than 2 x 10^3

Answer 1

wrong

Answer 2

d. 7 x 10^3 is 5 times larger than 2 x 10^3.

To compare the two numbers, divide 7 x 10^3 by 2 x 10^3: (7 x 10^3) / (2 x 10^3) = 3.5

Therefore, 7 x 10^3 is 3.5 times larger than 2 x 10^3, which is the closest option to the correct answer.

Answer 3

I apologize for the mistake in my previous response.

The correct answer is:

b. 7 x 10^3 is twice as large as 2 x 10^3.

To compare the two numbers, divide 7 x 10^3 by 2 x 10^3: (7 x 10^3) / (2 x 10^3) = 3.5

Therefore, 7 x 10^3 is 3.5 times larger than 2 x 10^3. This means that it is twice as large as 2 x 10^3.
