Ivan’s Internet Company boasts that its wireless access points have the greatest range. The company claims that you can access its signal up to 2,640 feet from its device. A competing company, Winnie’s Wi-Fi, has devices that extend to up to 2 1/2 miles. a. Rewrite the range of each company’s wireless access devices in feet using scientific notation, and state which company actually has the greater range (5,280 feet = 1 mile). b. You can determine how many times greater the range of one Internet company is than the other by writing their ranges as a ratio. Write and find the value of the ratio that compares the range of Winnie’s wireless access devices to the range of Ivan’s wireless access devices. Write a complete sentence describing how many times greater Winnie’s Wi-Fi range is than Ivan’s Wi-Fi range. c. UC…
