wrong
I apologize for the mistake. The correct answer is:
3.25 × 10−4, 1.25 × 10−3, 2.25 × 10−3, 3.25 × 10−3
3.25 × 10−4, 1.25 × 10−3, 2.25 × 10−3, 3.25 × 10−3
please explain
The numbers in this set are arranged in ascending order. To understand why, let's look at the base numbers of each number in scientific notation:
0.000325
0.00125
0.00225
0.00325
When comparing the base numbers, we see that 0.000325 is the smallest, followed by 0.00125, then 0.00225, and finally 0.00325. Therefore, the numbers are arranged in ascending order.
3.25 × 10−4
, 1.25 × 10−3
, 2.25 × 10−3
, 3.25 × 10−3
please explain how
Apologies for the confusion.
Let's focus on the exponent of each number:
3.25 × 10−4
1.25 × 10−3
2.25 × 10−3
3.25 × 10−3
The exponents are -4, -3, -3, and -3, respectively. Since the exponents are the same (-3), we need to compare the coefficients, which are the numbers before the "× 10" part.
Comparing the coefficients, we find that:
1.25 < 2.25 < 3.25
Therefore, in ascending order, the numbers are arranged as follows:
1.25 × 10−3
2.25 × 10−3
3.25 × 10−3
3.25 × 10−4
At the end of fiscal year 2004, the federal debt of Country C is $278,560,125,000. What is the closest estimation of this amount? Express your answer in the form of a single digit times an integer power of 10
The closest estimation of $278,560,125,000 in the form of a single digit times an integer power of 10 would be $2.79 × 10^11.
