Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There are approximately 7.5 × 10¹⁸ grains of sand on earth.
There are approximately 7 × 10²⁷ atoms in an average human body.
A. There are more atoms in an average human body. When comparing the order of magnitude of each number 27 it greater than 18.
7 × 10²⁷ > 7.5 × 10¹⁸
B. Now we will calculate how many times more atoms are in a human body compared to grains of sand on earth.
[tex]\frac{7\times 10^{27}}{7.5\times 10^{18}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{7}{7.5}\times \frac{10^{27}}{10^{18}}[/tex]
≈ 1 × 10²⁷⁻¹⁸
≈ 1 × 10⁹
≈ 10⁹
There are approximately 1,000,000,000 atoms more in a human body compared to the grains of sand on earth.
