times
greater
than the one before
Counting zeros
Tells you the order of magnitude (
10
= 1 order, 100 = 2 orders,
1000
= 3 orders)
Calculating order of magnitude
Find how many times
larger
one object is than another
2. Count the number of
zeros
to determine the order of
magnitude
Image Size = Magnification x Actual Size (Use
IAM
