use scientific notation to determine which of these numbers has at least the value 98,789,000,987,890,000; or 89,987,000. Write your answer in scientific notation expressed to the exact decimal place

Answer 1

To determine which number has at least the value 98,789,000,987,890,000 or 89,987,000, we will convert both numbers to scientific notation.

Number 1: 98,789,000,987,890,000
In scientific notation, this number can be written as 9.8789 x 10^16 (16 decimal places).

Number 2: 89,987,000
In scientific notation, this number can be written as 8.9987 x 10^7 (7 decimal places).

Comparing the two numbers, we can see that 9.8789 x 10^16 (16 decimal places) is greater than 8.9987 x 10^7 (7 decimal places).

Therefore, the number 98,789,000,987,890,000 (in scientific notation 9.8789 x 10^16) has at least the value of 98,789,000,987,890,000 and is greater than 89,987,000 (in scientific notation 8.9987 x 10^7).
