Question

Click and drag the numbers shown in order from largest on top to smallest on bottom (descending order) 2.3 x 10^-10, 3.2 x 10^-10, 2.3 x 10^-12, 2.3 x 10^-8

Answer 1

To arrange the numbers \(2.3 \times 10^{-10}\), \(3.2 \times 10^{-10}\), \(2.3 \times 10^{-12}\), and \(2.3 \times 10^{-8}\) in descending order, we can compare their coefficients along with their powers of ten:

1. **\(2.3 \times 10^{-8}\)** (largest, because \(-8\) is greater than the others)
2. **\(3.2 \times 10^{-10}\)** (next, since \(-10\) is greater than \(-12\))
3. **\(2.3 \times 10^{-10}\)** (next, same power as \(3.2 \times 10^{-10}\) but smaller coefficient)
4. **\(2.3 \times 10^{-12}\)** (smallest, with the lowest power)

So the numbers in descending order are:

1. \(2.3 \times 10^{-8}\)
2. \(3.2 \times 10^{-10}\)
3. \(2.3 \times 10^{-10}\)
4. \(2.3 \times 10^{-12}\)

Answer 2

Correct!
