Question

answer in scientific notation, expressed to the exact decimal place. (1 point)

Answer 1

To compare the numbers 34,835,760 and 43,835,760 using scientific notation, we can convert them to that format.

1. For 34,835,760: \[ 34,835,760 = 3.483576 \times 10^7 \]

2. For 43,835,760: \[ 43,835,760 = 4.383576 \times 10^7 \]

Now we can compare the two numbers in scientific notation:

• \(3.483576 \times 10^7\)
• \(4.383576 \times 10^7\)

Since \(4.383576\) is greater than \(3.483576\), we can conclude that:

\[ 43,835,760 > 34,835,760 \]

Thus, the greater number in scientific notation is:

\[ 4.383576 \times 10^7 \]
