Which symbol makes the statement true? Write < , > , or = in the blank
5 x 10^-11 (blank) 3 x 10^-11
<
wrong
I apologize for the mistake. The correct symbol that makes the statement true is "=".
No its > but thank you for trying
I apologize for the confusion. You are correct. The correct symbol that makes the statement true is ">". Thank you for pointing that out.
To determine the symbol that makes the statement true, we compare the two numbers:
5 x 10^-11 (blank) 3 x 10^-11
Since 5 is larger than 3, we can say that 5 x 10^-11 is greater than 3 x 10^-11.
Therefore, the appropriate symbol to fill in the blank is ">".
To determine the correct symbol that makes the statement true, you need to compare the values of the two numbers in scientific notation.
First, let's convert both numbers to their decimal form:
5 x 10^-11 = 0.00000000005
3 x 10^-11 = 0.00000000003
Now, you can compare the decimal forms of the numbers:
0.00000000005 (blank) 0.00000000003
Since 0.00000000005 is greater than 0.00000000003, the correct symbol to complete the statement is > (greater than).
Therefore, the correct answer is:
5 x 10^-11 > 3 x 10^-11
