Think About the Process The length of cell A is 6x10^-6 m. The length of cell B is 0.0000002 m.
What is the ratio of cell A's length to cell B's length? Use pencil and paper. Is it easier to find the
ratio when the numbers are expressed in scientific notation or in standard form? Explain your
reasoning
The ratio of cell A's length to cell B's length is
(Type the ratio as a simplified fraction.)


Sagot :

Answer:

cell A = 6×10^-6

cell B = 0.0000002 = 2×10^-7

ratio = (6×10-6)/(2×10^-7)

ratio = 3×10 = 30 m

Yes, it's easy to find cause you have to divide 6 by to, and after do the operations with the power of 10. If it wasn't in scientific notation, you would have to do a lot of calculations with lots of zeros and it would be very hard
