To compare the two numbers \( 5 \times 10^{-11} \) and \( 3 \times 10^{-11} \), we can simply compare the coefficients (the numbers in front) since they both have the same power of ten.
Since \( 5 > 3 \), we can conclude that:
\[ 5 \times 10^{-11} > 3 \times 10^{-11} \]
So, the correct symbol to complete the statement is:
>
Thus, the statement is:
\[ 5 \times 10^{-11} > 3 \times 10^{-11} \]
Since \( 5 > 3 \), we can conclude that:
\[ 5 \times 10^{-11} > 3 \times 10^{-11} \]
So, the correct symbol to complete the statement is:
>
Thus, the statement is:
\[ 5 \times 10^{-11} > 3 \times 10^{-11} \]
