Answer 1

To compare the two numbers, 23×103 and 11×104, we need to evaluate both expressions and compare the results.

First, we evaluate 23×103:
23 × 103 = 2,369.

Then, we evaluate 11×104:
11 × 104 = 1,144.

Since 2,369 is greater than 1,144, we can conclude that 23×103 is greater than 11×104.

In summary, we compared the values obtained by evaluating both expressions and determined that 23×103 is the greater number.
