Your question is out of chemistry field;

However, It's 2.16*10^8/2.4*10^7 = 9 times higher.

Answer 3

To determine how much higher the Dodgers' payroll was compared to the Astros' payroll, we can subtract the Astros' payroll from the Dodgers' payroll.

The Dodgers' opening day payroll was about $2.16 x 10^8. The Astros' opening day payroll was about $2.4 x 10^7.

Subtracting the Astros' payroll from the Dodgers' payroll, we get: $2.16 x 10^8 - $2.4 x 10^7.

To calculate this, we need to make sure the exponents are the same. In this case, we can convert $2.16 x 10^8 to $216 x 10^6 (moving the decimal point and changing the exponent).

So, the calculation becomes: $216 x 10^6 - $2.4 x 10^7.

Performing the subtraction, we get: $216 x 10^6 - $2.4 x 10^7 = $216 x 10^6 - $24 x 10^7.

For the calculation part, we multiply both the numbers and the exponents separately: $216 x $10^6 - $24 x $10^7 = $216 - $24 x 10^(6+7) = $192 x 10^13.

Therefore, the Dodgers' payroll was $192 x 10^13 higher than the Astros' payroll.
