Answer

$4$ times as many

Work Step by Step

To answer " how many times is ... greater than ... ?", we divide the two data points: $\displaystyle \frac{3\times 10^{10}}{7.5\times 10^{9}}=\frac{3}{7.5}\cdot\frac{10^{10}}{10^{9}}$ $=\displaystyle \frac{30}{75}\times 10^{10-9}$ $=\displaystyle \frac{2}{5}\times 10^{1}$ $=2\times 2$ = $4$ times as many
