Comparing 4.6×10^6 and 4.9×10^6, which number is greater?
A. 4.6 x 10^6
B. 4.6
C. 4.9
D. 4.9 x 10^6
To compare the numbers, we can ignore the exponents for now and focus on the base numbers.
4.6 is less than 4.9.
Since both numbers have the same exponent of 10^6, we can conclude that 4.6×10^6 is less than 4.9×10^6.
Therefore, the answer is D. 4.9 x 10^6.
