The smallest bacterium is 0.2 micrometers across, while the giant amoeba Chaos chaos is 1000 micrometers across. How many times larger is the giant amoeba than the smallest bacterium?

Answer (3)

so you would do 1000 divided by 0.2 to find out how much larger is the giant amoeba than the smaller one, so
1000/0.2 =5000
The giant amoeba is 5000 micrometers bigger than the small amoeba

1000/0.2 = 5000 times larger

The giant amoeba Chaos chaos is 5000 times larger than the smallest bacterium at 0.2 micrometers. To find this, you divide the amoeba's size by the bacterium's size. Therefore, 1000 micrometers (amoeba) divided by 0.2 micrometers (bacterium) equals 5000.
