You can put this solution on YOUR website! A seed on dandelion flower weighs 15^-3 grams. The dandelion itself can weigh up to 15^3 grams . How many times heavier is the dandelion than its seed?
-------------------
15^3/15^-3 = 15^6 time AS HEAVY
-------------------------------
----> 15^6 - 1 times heavier, tho the difference between "times heavier" and "times as heavy" is not significant for numbers this large.
=============================
PS If you meant 15*10^3 and 15*10^-3 the solution is different.
