use scientific notation to determine which of these numbers is greater: 34,835,760 or 43,835,760.
Write your answer in scientific notation express to the exact decimal place
To write the numbers in scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point to the right until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point.
34,835,760 becomes 3.4835760 x 10^7
43,835,760 becomes 4.3835760 x 10^7
Comparing the numbers, we can see that 4.3835760 x 10^7 (43,835,760) is greater than 3.4835760 x 10^7 (34,835,760).
use scientific notation to determine which of these numbers has the least value: 123,893, 31,892, or 12,786
Write your answer in scientific notation express to the exact decimal place
To write the numbers in scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point to the right until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point.
123,893 becomes 1.23893 x 10^5
31,892 becomes 3.1892 x 10^4
12,786 becomes 1.2786 x 10^4
Comparing the numbers, we can see that 1.2786 x 10^4 (12,786) has the least value, followed by 3.1892 x 10^4 (31,892), and then 1.23893 x 10^5 (123,893).
use scientific notation to determine which of these numbers has the greatest value: 654,987,034; 645,897,430; or 546,789,340
Write your answer in scientific notation express to the exact decimal place
To write the numbers in scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point to the right until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point.
654,987,034 becomes 6.54987034 x 10^8
645,897,430 becomes 6.4589743 x 10^8
546,789,340 becomes 5.4678934 x 10^8
Comparing the numbers, we can see that 6.54987034 x 10^8 (654,987,034) has the greatest value, followed by 6.4589743 x 10^8 (645,897,430), and then 5.4678934 x 10^8 (546,789,340).
compare 0.0000635 and 0.000456. write <, >, or =
To compare the numbers 0.0000635 and 0.000456, we can write them in scientific notation form.
0.0000635 can be written as 6.35 x 10^-5 (move the decimal point 5 places to the right)
0.000456 can be written as 4.56 x 10^-4 (move the decimal point 4 places to the right)
To compare the numbers: 6.35 x 10^-5 (0.0000635) and 4.56 x 10^-4 (0.000456), we can see that 6.35 x 10^-5 is less than 4.56 x 10^-4.
Therefore, 0.0000635 < 0.000456
which symbol makes the statement true? write <, >, or = in the blank
5*10^-11 ____ 3*10^-11
To compare 5*10^-11 and 3*10^-11, we can consider the coefficient and the power of 10 separately:
The coefficient 5 is greater than 3.
The power of 10, -11, indicates that the value is a very small number.
Since the coefficient of 5 is greater than 3 and both numbers have the same power of 10 (-11), we can conclude that:
5*10^-11 > 3*10^-11
Therefore, the symbol ">" would make the statement true.
compare 364,879; 463,000; and 436,765 using scientific notation. which number has the least value?
4.63 * 10^5
3.64879 * 10^5
4.36765 * 10^5
364,879
