Answer:
2.5*10^3 times greater, or 2500 times greater.
Step-by-step explanation:
Dividing 8.5*10^8 by 3.4*10^5 will yield the desired answer (which is a ratio). Note: 108 and 105 MUST be written with the symbol " ^ " to denote exponentiation.
8.5*10^8
--------------- = (8.5 / 3.4)*10^(8-5) = 2.5*10^3
3.4*10^5
