Question

Which sign makes the statement true?

6,620 6.62 × 10^4
> = <

Answer 1

To determine which sign makes the statement true, we need to compare the two numbers: 6,620 and 6.62 × 10^4.

First, let's convert 6.62 × 10^4 into a standard decimal form.

6.62 × 10^4 = 6.62 × 10000 = 66,200.

Now we compare the two numbers:
- 6,620
- 66,200

Since 6,620 is less than 66,200, we can say:

6,620 < 6.62 × 10^4

Therefore, the correct sign to make the statement true is "<":

6,620 < 6.62 × 10^4.
