Question

A scientist looks at a bacterium and a virus in a lab. The bacterium has a diameter of 10^-6 meters. The virus has a diameter of 10^-7 meters. Which statement accurately compares the sizes of the specimens?
The diameter of the bacterium is 10 times greater than that of the virus.
The diameter of the bacterium is 1/100 times as great as that of the virus.
The diameter of the virus is 10 times greater than that of the bacterium.
The diameter of the virus is 1/100 times as great as that of the bacterium.

Answer 1

take a guess so i have something teach from

Answer 2

only hint i have is that its not c

Answer 3

I thought it was
c lol

Answer 4

pay attention to the 10^-6 and the 10^-7

Answer 5

10^-6 is larger than 10^-7 and its up to you to find out how mutch

Answer 6

.000001 vs .0000007

Answer 7

.0000001 sorry not .0000007

Answer 8

whats the difference between bacterium (.000001) and virus (.0000001) ?

Answer 9

There is no difference ugh i hate math

Answer 10

its not 1/100 of any and its not c ;)

Answer 11

Is it A?

Answer 12

correct

Answer 13

YAY OMG THANK YOU

Answer 14

np

Answer 15

thank you

Answer 16

You can divide the two values

A = diameter of bacterium
B = diameter of virus

A/B = (10^(-6))/(10^(-7))
A/B = 10^(-6-(-7))
A/B = 10^(-6+7)
A/B = 10^(1)
A/B = 10


Since the ratio of the two diameters is 10, this means that A is ten times bigger

Answer 17

Thank you (:

Answer 18

Answer is A
