Answer 1

To determine how many times larger \( 4 \times 10^4 \) is than \( 2 \times 10^2 \), we'll first calculate the values of each expression.

1. Calculate \( 4 \times 10^4 \):
\[
4 \times 10^4 = 4 \times 10000 = 40000
\]

2. Calculate \( 2 \times 10^2 \):
\[
2 \times 10^2 = 2 \times 100 = 200
\]

Now, we want to find how many times larger \( 40000 \) is than \( 200 \):
\[
\frac{40000}{200} = 200
\]

Thus, \( 4 \times 10^4 \) is **200 times larger** than \( 2 \times 10^2 \).
