Problem: The estimated masses of a proton and an electron are 1.67 x 10^-24 grams and 9.11 x 10^-28 grams, respectively. Find the ratio of the mass of the proton to the mass of the electron.
Problem: The estimated masses of a proton and an electron are 1.67 x 10^-24 grams and 9.11 x 10^-28 grams, respectively. Find the ratio of the mass of the proton to the mass of the electron.
(1.67 X 10^-24) / (9.11 X 10^-28)=1,833.
1,833:1-- The proton mass is 1,833x that of the electron.
