Question 335069: Please help me solve this problem and show all steps necessary to get this step.
Assume that the volume of the earth is 5 � 1014 cubic meters and the volume of a bacterium is 2.5 � 10-16 cubic meters. If the earth could be filled with bacteria, how many would it contain? (Round to one decimal place.)

Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Volume of the earth is cubic meters.
Volume of a bacteria is cubic meters.

You divide the volume of the earth by the volume of the bacteria to see how many bacteria would fit in it.

That would be:

= = = .

The number of bacteria that could fit into the volume of the earth is equal to .
