Which one do you think it is?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
a or b not sure
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How about we ignore the 9 and the 3 for now, and pretend that we're comparing 10^4 and 10^2?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How much bigger would 10^4 be compared to 10^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
What is 10^4 and 10^2 in regular notation?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im not sure
OpenStudy (anonymous):
:(

You know how powers work, right? 10^2 = 10*10, 10^3= 10*10*10, and so on.

yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So then, 10^2 and 10^4 would be...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
10 10 and 10 10 10 10
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Which is equivalent to 100 and 10000, correct?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes

So then, how much bigger is 10000 from 100? i.e. What times 100 will result in 10000?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
10
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No, 100*10 = 1000. 100*100 = 10000.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So 100 is 100 times bigger than 10000
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Knowing that, how many times bigger is 90000 (9*10^4) compared to 300 (3*10^2)?

Oops, I meant 10000 is 100 times bigger than 100.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
