Compare 7.6 × 10-25 and 6.7 × 10-52

Question

. Which statement is true?
(1 point)
0 7.6 × 10-25.
≤6.7 × 10-52
07.6 × 10-25 = 6.7 × 10-52
07.6 × 10-25 < 6.7 × 10-52
07.6 × 10-25 > 6.7 × 10-52

Answer 1

To compare the two numbers \(7.6 \times 10^{-25}\) and \(6.7 \times 10^{-52}\), we need to look at their scientific notation.

1. The exponent in \(7.6 \times 10^{-25}\) is \(-25\).
2. The exponent in \(6.7 \times 10^{-52}\) is \(-52\).

Since \(-25\) is greater than \(-52\), we can conclude that \( 10^{-25} \) is larger than \( 10^{-52} \).

Thus: \[ 7.6 \times 10^{-25} > 6.7 \times 10^{-52} \]

Therefore, the correct statement is: 07.6 × 10-25 > 6.7 × 10-52.
