Question

Which sign makes the statement true?

0.03 3.9 × 10^–3
> = <

Answer 1

To determine which sign makes the statement true, we need to compare the two values: 0.03 and 3.9 × 10^–3.

First, convert 3.9 × 10^–3 into decimal form:

3.9 × 10^–3 = 3.9 / 1000 = 0.0039

Now, we can compare the two values:

0.03 and 0.0039

Since 0.03 is greater than 0.0039, we can use the '>' sign.

The correct statement is:

0.03 > 3.9 × 10^–3
