Compare 364,879; 463,000; and 436,765 using scientific notation. Which number has the least value?(1 point)
In scientific notation, a number is written as a product of a decimal number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10.
Writing the given numbers in scientific notation:
364,879 = 3.64879 x 10^5
463,000 = 4.63 x 10^5
436,765 = 4.36765 x 10^5
Comparing the powers of 10:
10^5 < 10^5 < 10^5
Therefore, all the numbers have the same power of 10.
Now comparing the decimal numbers:
3.64879 < 4.63 < 4.36765
Therefore, the number 364,879 has the least value in scientific notation.
To compare these numbers using scientific notation, we need to express each number in the form of a coefficient multiplied by 10 raised to a power.
Let's express each number in scientific notation:
1. 364,879 = 3.64879 x 10^5
2. 463,000 = 4.63 x 10^5
3. 436,765 = 4.36765 x 10^5
To determine which number has the least value, we compare the coefficients. In this case, the smallest coefficient is 3.64879 in the scientific notation for 364,879.
Therefore, the number 364,879 has the least value among the given numbers.
To compare numbers using scientific notation, we need to express each number in the form of A x 10^n, where A is a number between 1 and 10, and n is an integer.
Let's convert each number to scientific notation:
1. 364,879 can be written as 3.64879 x 10^5 (since we move the decimal point 5 places to the left).
2. 463,000 can be written as 4.63 x 10^5 (since we move the decimal point 5 places to the left).
3. 436,765 can be written as 4.36765 x 10^5 (since we move the decimal point 5 places to the left).
Now, we can compare the numbers based on the value of A. The number with the least value of A has the least value overall.
Comparing the values of A:
A of 3.64879 = 3.64879
A of 4.63 = 4.63
A of 4.36765 = 4.36765
From the comparison, it is clear that 3.64879 has the least value among the given numbers in scientific notation.
