Question

Which symbol would you use to correctly compare? Draw a numberline to help you.

6.2×10−3 and 0 and 1
(1 point)

Answer 1

To correctly compare the numbers 6.2×10−3, 0, and 1, we can use the symbol ">" to indicate "greater than."

Here is a number line with the three numbers plotted:

---------------------------------------- 1 ---------------------------------------- 0 ---------------------------------------- 6.2×10^-3 ----------------------------------------

As we can see, 6.2×10−3 (which is 0.0062) is less than both 0 and 1. So the correct comparison using our symbol would be:

6.2×10−3 < 0 and 6.2×10−3 < 1.
