How would I answer the question.

The question is identical to the one I just gave on ages
The distance from my house to Luton is 50 miles
The distance from my house to Southampton is 200 miles
How many times further away is Southampton than Luton -

Re: Standard FormGreat Answer. Thank you.(Original post by mevidek)
9.3 x 10 (to the power of 7) = 93000000
93000000 divided by 250000 = 372
372 in standard form is 3.72 x 10 (to the power of 2)
The answer should, if I'm correct, be 3.72 x 10 (to the power of 2)
