7.6 × 10−25 > 6.7 × 10−52
7.6 times 10 Superscript negative 25 Baseline is greater than 6.7 times 10 Superscript negative 52 Baseline
The correct statement is:
7.6 × 10−25 > 6.7 × 10−52
7.6 times 10 Superscript negative 25 Baseline is greater than 6.7 times 10 Superscript negative 52 Baseline.
The correct statement is:
7.6 × 10^−25 < 6.7 × 10^−52
To compare the numbers 7.6 × 10^(-25) and 6.7 × 10^(-52), we can follow these steps:
1. Identify the exponents: The exponents in this case are -25 and -52.
2. Compare the exponents: Since the exponents have different signs, we know that the numbers are of different magnitudes.
3. Determine the comparison based on the exponents: The number with the larger negative exponent is smaller in value.
In this case, -25 is a larger negative exponent compared to -52. Therefore, 7.6 × 10^(-25) is greater than 6.7 × 10^(-52).
So the correct statement is:
7.6 × 10^(-25) > 6.7 × 10^(-52)
