Question

James had a peach that was 98 mm in diameter. One day he watered it with a magical solution, and it grew to 188,869 mm in diameter . how many times as large did the diameter of the peach become after James watered it?

Answer 1

To find out how many times larger the diameter of the peach became after James watered it, we can divide the final diameter by the initial diameter.

1. **Initial Diameter**: 98 mm
2. **Final Diameter**: 188,869 mm

Now, we calculate the ratio:

\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Final Diameter}}{\text{Initial Diameter}} = \frac{188,869 \text{ mm}}{98 \text{ mm}}
\]

Calculating that gives:

\[
\text{Ratio} \approx 1925.39
\]

So, the diameter of the peach became approximately 1925.39 times larger after being watered with the magical solution.
