To solve the problem, we begin by calculating both values:
- Calculate \( 3 \times 10^8 \)
- Calculate \( 3 \times 10^2 \)
Step 1: Calculate \( 3 \times 10^8 \) \[ 3 \times 10^8 = 3 \times 100,000,000 = 300,000,000 \]
Step 2: Calculate \( 3 \times 10^2 \) \[ 3 \times 10^2 = 3 \times 100 = 300 \]
Step 3: Determine how many times greater \( 300,000,000 \) is than \( 300 \) To find how many times greater one number is than another, we can divide the larger number by the smaller number: \[ \frac{300,000,000}{300} = 1,000,000 \]
Thus, \( 3 \times 10^8\) is 1,000,000 times greater than \( 3 \times 10^2\).
The correct response is: \[ 1,000,000 \]
