Step-by-step explanation:
Scientists are examining two different strains of a particular bacteria. The length of one strain of the bacteria measures 0.000000143 mm, while the length of the second strain measures 0.0000000937 mm. How much larger is the first strain than the second?
We would have:
First strain : Second strain
0.000000143 mm : 0.0000000937 mm
How much larger is the first strain than the second?
We divide both by the length of the second strain
0.000000143/0.0000000937 : 0.0000000937 / 0.0000000937
