To compare the numbers 7.6 × 10^-25 and 6.7 × 10^-52, we can compare the coefficients (7.6 and 6.7) since they have the same base (10). The exponent represents the power of 10.
7.6 is greater than 6.7, so we know that 7.6 × 10^-25 is greater than 6.7 × 10^-52.
Therefore, the correct statement is:
7.6 × 10^-25 > 6.7 × 10^-52
To compare 7.6 × 10^(-25) and 6.7 × 10^(-52), we need to compare the values of the exponents and the coefficients.
First, let's compare the exponents. The exponent -25 is larger than -52, as -25 is closer to 0. This means that 10^(-25) is a larger value than 10^(-52).
Next, let's compare the coefficients. The coefficient 7.6 is larger than 6.7.
Considering both the exponent and the coefficient, we can conclude that 7.6 × 10^(-25) is greater than 6.7 × 10^(-52).
So, the correct statement is:
7.6 × 10^(-25) > 6.7 × 10^(-52)
