Question

To compare \(9.6 \times 10^{-2}\) and \(9.6 \times 10^{-5}\), we can express both numbers in decimal form:

- \(9.6 \times 10^{-2} = 0.096\)
- \(9.6 \times 10^{-5} = 0.000096\)

Now, let's find out how many times larger \(0.096\) is than \(0.000096\):

To do this calculation, we can divide \(0.096\) by \(0.000096\):

\[
\frac{0.096}{0.000096} = 1000
\]

So, \(9.6 \times 10^{-2}\) is **1000 times** **larger** than \(9.6 \times 10^{-5}\).

Now, we can fill in the blanks:

**9.6×10−2​ is 1000 times larger than 9.6×10−5.**
