It seems you're working on a problem that involves comparing weights or masses using either standard form or scientific notation. However, the specific question or numerical values needed to perform the calculations aren't provided in the hints you shared.
To assist you effectively, we usually need:
- The two quantities you're comparing (in standard form or scientific notation).
- The specific division or comparison being asked.
Since you've given hints suggesting two methods of solving (expanding both to standard form and dividing or using scientific notation), let's briefly outline how you might approach this:
Method 1: Standard Form
- Expand both quantities to their standard numerical form.
- Perform the division or compare the numbers.
- Determine how many times heavier one is than the other.
Method 2: Scientific Notation
- If you have two numbers in scientific notation (e.g., \( a \times 10^n \) and \( b \times 10^m \)), perform the division directly: \[ \frac{a \times 10^n}{b \times 10^m} = \frac{a}{b} \times 10^{(n-m)} \]
- Simplify the expression and interpret the result in terms of how much heavier one quantity is than the other.
If you can provide the specific quantities or additional details related to the problem, I would be more than happy to help you further!
