Answer:

Ratio of length of cell A to cell B is 20 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of cell A = [tex]8\times 10^{-6}[/tex] m

Length of cell B = 0.0000004 m

Convert the length of cell B into scientific notation.

Length of cell B = [tex]4.0\times 10^{-7}[/tex]

Now the ratio of the lengths of cell A and cell B = [tex]\frac{8.0\times 10^{-6}}{4.0\times 10^{-7}}[/tex]

                                                                                = [tex]2\times 10^{7-6}[/tex]

                                                                                = 20

Therefore, ratio of length of cell A to cell B is 20 : 1
