Calculate 6.25x10^6 - 4.73x10^6. Express your answer in scientific notation to 2 decimal places.
To subtract these numbers in scientific notation, we need to subtract the coefficients while keeping the same power of 10.
6.25x10^6 - 4.73x10^6 = (6.25 - 4.73)x10^6
Performing the subtraction in the parentheses:
= 1.52x10^6
Expressing the answer in scientific notation to 2 decimal places:
= 1.52x10^6
To calculate the difference between two numbers in scientific notation, we need to subtract the coefficients and keep the same base and exponent.
6.25x10^6 - 4.73x10^6
First, subtract the coefficients: 6.25 - 4.73 = 1.52
Then, keep the same base (10) and exponent (6) as the original numbers.
Therefore, the difference is 1.52x10^6.
Expressing the answer in scientific notation to 2 decimal places, we get 1.52x10^6.
To calculate (6.25x10^6) - (4.73x10^6), we first need to ensure that both numbers are written in the same exponent form. Let's rewrite them as follows:
6.25x10^6 = 6250000
4.73x10^6 = 4730000
Now we can subtract the two numbers:
6250000 - 4730000 = 1520000
To express this answer in scientific notation with two decimal places, we need to move the decimal point three places to the left to represent the decimal part and adjust the exponent accordingly. The result is:
1.52x10^6
