Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the answer, we need to divide 4 x 10^4 by 2 x 10^2.

This can be simplified to (4/2) x (10^4/10^2).

Since 4/2 = 2 and 10^4/10^2 = 10^(4-2) = 10^2, we have 2 x 10^2.

Therefore, the answer is D. 2.

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To determine how many times 4 x 10^4 is larger than 2 x 10^2, divide them:

(4 x 10^4) / (2 x 10^2)

Using the properties of exponents, we can rewrite this as:

4/2 * 10^(4-2)

Simplifying further, we get:

2 * 10^2

Thus, 4 x 10^4 is 2 x 10^2 times larger than 2 x 10^2.

Therefore, the answer is D. 2.

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find out how many times one quantity is larger than another, we can divide the larger quantity by the smaller quantity.

In this case, we have:

larger quantity = 4 x 10^4
smaller quantity = 2 x 10^2

Dividing the larger quantity by the smaller quantity:

(4 x 10^4) / (2 x 10^2)

To simplify this expression, we can divide the numbers outside the powers of 10 and subtract the exponents:

4 / 2 = 2
10^4 / 10^2 = 10^(4-2) = 10^2

So, the expression simplifies to:

2 x 10^2

Therefore, 4 x 10^4 is 2 times larger than 2 x 10^2.

The answer is option D. 2.
