To find how many times greater the mass of the tomato is than the mass of the ant, you can follow these steps:
1. **Mass of the tomato**: 100 grams
2. **Mass of the ant**: \( 4.0 \times 10^{-3} \) grams (which is equivalent to 0.004 grams).
Now, to find how many times greater the mass of the tomato is compared to the ant, you can divide the mass of the tomato by the mass of the ant:
\[
\text{Number of times} = \frac{\text{Mass of the tomato}}{\text{Mass of the ant}} = \frac{100 \, \text{grams}}{4.0 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{grams}}
\]
\[
\text{Number of times} = \frac{100}{0.004} = 25000
\]
Therefore, the mass of the tomato is **25,000 times greater** than the mass of the ant.
