Use scientific notation to compare these numbers: 12,740,876,635; 1,345,763,334; and 12,920,370,000, which has the greatest value?(1 point) Responses 1.292037×1010 1.292037 times 10 superscript 10 baseline 1.2740876635×1010 1.2740876635 times 10 superscript 10 baseline 1.345763334×109 1.345763334 times 10 superscript 9 baseline 12,920,370,000
To compare these numbers using scientific notation, we need to express them in the form of a number multiplied by 10 raised to a power.
12,740,876,635 = 1.2740876635 × 10^10
1,345,763,334 = 1.345763334 × 10^9
12,920,370,000 = 1.292037 × 10^10
To determine which number has the greatest value, we can compare the powers of 10.
As we can see, both 1.2740876635 × 10^10 and 1.292037 × 10^10 have the same exponent of 10, which is 10. However, the coefficient of 1.292037 × 10^10 (1.292037) is greater than the coefficient of 1.2740876635 × 10^10 (1.2740876635), indicating that 1.292037 × 10^10 is the largest number among the three.
