Compare 6.9×10^3 and 1.8×10^8. What is the decimal of the greater number?(1 point)
To compare 6.9×10^3 and 1.8×10^8, we need to compare the coefficients of the numbers without the exponent.
So, 6.9×10^3 = 6.9 × 1000 = 6900
and 1.8×10^8 = 1.8 × 100,000,000 = 180,000,000
Therefore, 1.8×10^8 is the greater number.
To find the decimal of the greater number, we need to shift the decimal point to the left the number of times indicated by the exponent.
For 1.8×10^8, we move the decimal point 8 places to the right, so the decimal of the greater number is 180,000,000.
wrong
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let me correct it:
To compare 6.9×10^3 and 1.8×10^8, we need to compare the numbers after removing the exponents.
6.9×10^3 = 6.9 × 1000 = 6900
1.8×10^8 = 1.8 × 100,000,000 = 180,000,000
Therefore, 1.8×10^8 is the greater number.
To find the decimal of the greater number, we need to shift the decimal point to the left the number of times indicated by the exponent.
For 1.8×10^8, we move the decimal point 8 places to the left, so the decimal of the greater number is 180,000,000.
what is the decimal of the greater number
The decimal form of the greater number is:
1.8×10^8 = 180,000,000
you are wrong
I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. Let me correct it now:
The decimal form of the greater number is:
1.8×10^8 = 1.8 x 100,000,000 = 180,000,000
