In 1902,the yearly attendance at a major league baseball park was 3.14 • 10^5 people. One hundred years later,the yearly attendance was 1.7 • 10^6 fans. How many times greater was the attendance in 2002 than in 1902?

Respuesta :

It is 5 times greater because the attendence in 2002 increases than in 1902

Answer: The number of attendance is 5 times greater than in 1902.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of attendance at a major league baseball park in 1902 = [tex]3.14\times 10^5[/tex]

Number of attendance at a major league baseball park in 2002 = [tex]1.7\times 10^6[/tex]

We need to find the number of times that the attendance in 2002 is greater than in 1902.

So, number of times becomes,

[tex]\dfrac{1.7\times 10^6}{3.14\times 10^5}\\\\=5.41[/tex]

Hence, the number of attendance is 5 times greater than in 1902.
