Question

2.49 x 10 and -2 less or greater then 2.49 x 10 and -3

Answer 1

To compare 2.49 x 10^2 and 2.49 x 10^3, we can compare the exponents.

Since 10^3 is a larger exponent than 10^2, that means 2.49 x 10^3 is greater than 2.49 x 10^2.

Similarly, to compare -2.49 x 10^2 and -2.49 x 10^3:

Since 10^3 is a larger exponent than 10^2, that means -2.49 x 10^3 is less than -2.49 x 10^2.
