To compare the numbers \(5 \times 10^{-11}\) and \(3 \times 10^{-11}\), we can observe their coefficients (5 and 3), which determine their relative size since they both have the same exponent of \(10^{-11}\).
Since \(5 > 3\), we conclude that:
\[ 5 \times 10^{-11} > 3 \times 10^{-11} \]
So, the correct symbol to fill in the blank is \(>\).
Thus, the statement is:
\(5 \times 10^{-11} > 3 \times 10^{-11}\)
Since \(5 > 3\), we conclude that:
\[ 5 \times 10^{-11} > 3 \times 10^{-11} \]
So, the correct symbol to fill in the blank is \(>\).
Thus, the statement is:
\(5 \times 10^{-11} > 3 \times 10^{-11}\)
