Compare 7.6 × 10- 5 and 6.7 × 10-52 Which statement is true? (1 point)
O 7.6 × 10-25 > 6.7 × 10 52
O 7.6 × 10 25 < 6.7 × 10 52
O 7.6 × 10 25 = 6.7 × 10 52
O 7.6 × 10-25 < 6.7 × 10-52
The true statement is:
7.6 × 10^25 < 6.7 × 10^52
To compare 7.6 × 10^(-5) and 6.7 × 10^(-52), we can compare the exponents.
The exponent for 7.6 × 10^(-5) is -5.
The exponent for 6.7 × 10^(-52) is -52.
Since -5 is greater than -52, we can conclude that 7.6 × 10^(-5) 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^(-5) and 6.7 × 10^(-52), we need to compare the values of the exponents. In scientific notation, a larger exponent indicates a larger value.
In this case, the exponent of 10 in 7.6 × 10^(-5) is -5, while the exponent of 10 in 6.7 × 10^(-52) is -52. Since -52 is a smaller value than -5, we can conclude that the number 6.7 × 10^(-52) is smaller than 7.6 × 10^(-5).
Therefore, the correct statement is 7.6 × 10^(-25) > 6.7 × 10^(-52).
