The average mass of an adult human is about 65 kilograms while the average mass of an ant is approximately 4×10−3 grams. The total human population in the world is approximately 6.84 billion, and it is estimated there are currently about 10,000 trillion ants alive. Based on these values, about how many times greater is the total mass of living humans compared to the total mass of all living ants? Round to the nearest whole.

Find total mass:

Human: 65 kg x 6,840,000,000 = 444,600,000,000 kg

Ants: 4x10^-3 = 0.004g

0.004 x 10,000,000,000,000,000 = 40,000,000,000,000g

Divide total grams by 1000 to get kegs:

40,000,000,000,000 /1000 = 40,000,000,000 kgs.

Divide total mass of humans by total mass of ants:

444,600,000,000 / 40,000,000,000 = 11.115

Mass of humans is 11.115 times more than ants.

Rounded to the nearest whole number = 11 times more.
