Answer:
The mass of the Blue whale is 200 times the mass of the cow
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Mass of Cow = 9 * 10² kg
Mass of Blue Whale = 1.8 * 10⁵ kg
Required
Determine the relationship between both weights
Represent the mass of the cow with C and the mass of the whale with B
[tex]C = 9 * 10^2kg[/tex]
[tex]C = 9 *100kg[/tex]
[tex]C = 900kg[/tex]
[tex]B = 1.8 * 10^5kg[/tex]
[tex]B = 1.8 * 100000kg[/tex]
[tex]B = 180000kg[/tex]
Divide the bigger weight by the smaller weight
[tex]\frac{B}{C} = \frac{180000kg}{900kg}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{B}{C} = \frac{180000}{900}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{B}{C} = {200}{}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by C
[tex]C * \frac{B}{C} = {200}{} * C[/tex]
[tex]B = {200}{} * C[/tex]
[tex]B = 200}C[/tex]
From the expression above, it can be concluded that the mass of the Blue whale is 200 times the mass of the cow
