The weight of a particle of unobtainium is 2.66 x 10^−6oz. The weight of a grain of spice is 9.17 x 10^−4oz. About how much more does a grain of spice weigh than the particle of unobtainium?



Answer :

A grain of spice weigh 3.44 x 10² times more than the particle of unobtanium.

What is scale factor?

Scale factor is a gives the measure of how many times is quantity[1] larger then the quantity[2].

Given is the weight of a particle of unobtanium is 2.66 x 10⁻⁶ oz and the weight of a grain of spice is 9.17 x 10⁻⁴ oz.

We can write from the data given -

Weight of unobtanium particle = W[O] = 2.66 x 10⁻⁶ oz

Weight of a grain of spice = W[G] =  9.17 x 10⁻⁴ oz

Assume that the ratio of -

W[G]/W[O] = k

Then, we can write -

k = (9.17 x 10⁻⁴) / (2.66 x 10⁻⁶)

k = 3.44 x 10²

Therefore, a grain of spice weigh 3.44 x 10² times more than the particle of unobtanium.
