Compare 364,879; 463,000; and 436,765 using scientific notation. Which number has the least value? (1 point)

Question

• 364,879.
• 4.36765 × 105
0 4.63 × 105
• 3.64879 × 105

Answer 1

To compare the numbers 364,879; 463,000; and 436,765 using scientific notation, we can convert each number as follows:

1. 364,879 can be expressed in scientific notation as \(3.64879 \times 10^5\).
2. 463,000 can be expressed in scientific notation as \(4.63 \times 10^5\).
3. 436,765 can be expressed in scientific notation as \(4.36765 \times 10^5\).

Now, let’s look at the scientific notation values:

• \(3.64879 \times 10^5\) (from 364,879)
• \(4.36765 \times 10^5\) (from 436,765)
• \(4.63 \times 10^5\) (from 463,000)

To compare these values, we can look at the coefficients since they all have the same exponent of \(10^5\):

• \(3.64879\)
• \(4.36765\)
• \(4.63\)

Among these coefficients, \(3.64879\) is the smallest.

Therefore, the number with the least value is 364,879.
