Compare 4.2×10^6 and 6.5×10^3. What is the exponent of the lesser number?(1 point)

Answer 1

To compare 4.2×10^6 and 6.5×10^3, we need to convert both numbers to standard form.

4.2×10^6 = 4,200,000
6.5×10^3 = 6,500

Now we can see that 6,500 is less than 4,200,000.

The exponent of the lesser number is 3, because 6.5×10^3 can be written as 6.5×10^3 = 6.5×10^3.
