The length of cell A is 2x10^-6m. The length of cell B is 0.0000001 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.

Cell A : Cell B

20 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of cell A is 2x10^-6m.

The length of cell A is in Scientific notation

The length of cell B is 0.0000001 m.

The length of cell B is in Standard form.

To find the ratio of Cell A to Cell B

We convert the length of Cell B to Scientific notation

= 0.0000001 m = 1 × 10^-7m

Cell A : Cell B

2 × 10^-6 : 1 × 10^ -7

2 × 10^-6/ 1 × 10^ -7 : 1 × 10^ -7/ 1 × 10^ -7

20 : 1

Is it easier to find the ratio when the numbers are expressed in scientific notation or in standard form? Explain your reasoning.

Yes it is easier to find the ratios when the numbers are expressed as scientific notation because Scientific notation is a methodology in mathematics that is used to write very large or very small number in a compact and easy form raised to the power of 10.

It is makes it easier to calculate or solve mathematical operations using numbers in Scientific notation.

step-by-step explanation:

in the absence of parentheses, i will have to make some assumptions:   i interpret your (3x+5/y^6)(4y^3/5)​ to mean:

3x + 5     4y^(3/5)       (3x + 5)(4)

* =

    y^6             1               y^(6-3/5)

if this is not what you expected, repost your question using parentheses to indicate whether you meant

4y^3

    or   4y^(3/5)
