The Red Savina Habanero has a hotness rating of 4.6 x 10^5 on the Scoville scale.
How many times hotter is the Red Savina Habanero than the Thai Pepper?
a
Divide (4.6 x 10^5) / (7.5 x 10^4) = (4.6 / 7.5) x (10^(5-4)) = .613 x 10^1 = 6.13 times hotter
b
Multiply (7.5 x 10^4) x (4.6 x 10^5) = (7.5 x 4.6) x (10^(4+5)) = 34.5 x 10^ 9 = 3.45 x 10^10
c
Divide (7.5 x 10^4) / (4.6 x 10^5) = (7.5 / 4.6) x (10^(4-5)) = 1.63 x 10^ 1 = 16.3 times hotter
d
Multiply (7.5 x 10^4) x (4.6 x 10^5) = (7.5 x 4.6) x (10^(4+5)) = 34.5 x 10^ 9 = 3.45 x 10^10 times hotter
