To compare these numbers using scientific notation, we express them in the form of A x 10^B, where A is a number greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10, and B is an integer exponent.
12,740,876,635 = 1.2740876635 x 10^10
1,345,763,334 = 1.345763334 x 10^9
12,920,370,000 = 1.292037 x 10^10
To determine which number has the greatest value, we compare the exponents (B).
In this case, both numbers have the same exponent of 10^10. Therefore, we need to compare the coefficient (A).
1.2740876635 (coefficient) is less than 1.292037 (coefficient).
Thus, 12,920,370,000 (1.292037 x 10^10) has the greatest value among the three numbers.
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
