1. Inequality symbols:
- Greater than ( > )
- Less than ( < )
- Greater than or equal to ( ≥ )
- Less than or equal to ( ≤ )
- Not equal to ( ≠ )
2. Order from least to greatest:
6 x 10^6 , 6.1 x 10^6 , 6.6 x 10^6 , 6.8 x 10^6
6 x 10^6 < 6.1 x 10^6 < 6.6 x 10^6 < 6.8 x 10^6
3. Smallest diameter planet:
Mars has the smallest diameter with 6.79 x 10^3 kilometers.
4. Least number:
The least number is b. 3 x 10^7
5. Comparing exponents:
5.15 × 10^-4 is greater than 6.35 × 10^-5 because when the exponents are negative, a larger exponent means a smaller number.
