To find out how many times larger the diameter of the peach became after James watered it, we need to divide the final diameter by the original diameter.
The original diameter of the peach is 98 mm, and the final diameter is 188,869 mm.
Now we calculate the ratio:
\[
\text{Growth Factor} = \frac{\text{Final Diameter}}{\text{Original Diameter}} = \frac{188,869 \, \text{mm}}{98 \, \text{mm}}
\]
Now we perform the division:
\[
\text{Growth Factor} \approx 1922.08
\]
Therefore, the diameter of the peach became approximately **1922 times** larger after James watered it.
The original diameter of the peach is 98 mm, and the final diameter is 188,869 mm.
Now we calculate the ratio:
\[
\text{Growth Factor} = \frac{\text{Final Diameter}}{\text{Original Diameter}} = \frac{188,869 \, \text{mm}}{98 \, \text{mm}}
\]
Now we perform the division:
\[
\text{Growth Factor} \approx 1922.08
\]
Therefore, the diameter of the peach became approximately **1922 times** larger after James watered it.
