On an average weekend, 17^4 people visit Times Square and 17^6 people visit the Great Wall of China. On an average weekend, how many times more people visit the Great Wall of China than Times Square?

1 answer

To find the ratio of the number of people visiting the Great Wall of China to the number of people visiting Times Square, we divide the former by the latter:

(17^6)/(17^4) = 17^(6-4) = 17^2

Therefore, on an average weekend, the Great Wall of China receives 17^2 times more visitors than Times Square.
