Calculate 6.25 x 10^6 - 4.73 x 10^6. Express your answer in scientific notation to 2 decimal places. (1 point)

1 answer

To perform the calculation \(6.25 \times 10^6 - 4.73 \times 10^6\), we can subtract the coefficients since they have the same power of 10:

\[ (6.25 - 4.73) \times 10^6 \]

Calculating the coefficients:

\[ 6.25 - 4.73 = 1.52 \]

Now we can express the result in scientific notation:

\[ 1.52 \times 10^6 \]

Rounding to two decimal places remains:

\[ 1.52 \times 10^6 \]

Thus, the final answer is:

\[ \boxed{1.52 \times 10^6} \]
