Question

The density of oxygen is about 1.429 × 10−4 grams per liter. Which number is higher than 1.429 × 10−4 ?(1 point) Responses 1.429 × 10−6 1.429 times 10 Superscript negative 6 Baseline 1.429 × 10−3 1.429 times 10 Superscript negative 3 Baseline 1.429 × 10−5 1.429 times 10 Superscript negative 5 Baseline 4.129 × 10−4

Answer 1

1.429 * 10^-3 is the correct answer

Answer 2

To determine which number is higher than \(1.429 \times 10^{-4}\), we can compare each option:

1. **\(1.429 \times 10^{-6}\)** (which is \(0.000001429\)) - This is smaller than \(1.429 \times 10^{-4}\).
2. **\(1.429 \times 10^{-3}\)** (which is \(0.001429\)) - This is larger than \(1.429 \times 10^{-4}\).
3. **\(1.429 \times 10^{-5}\)** (which is \(0.00001429\)) - This is smaller than \(1.429 \times 10^{-4}\).
4. **\(4.129 \times 10^{-4}\)** (which is \(0.0004129\)) - This is larger than \(1.429 \times 10^{-4}\).

Therefore, the numbers that are higher than \(1.429 \times 10^{-4}\) are:
- \(1.429 \times 10^{-3}\)
- \(4.129 \times 10^{-4}\)
