Which symbol makes the statement true? Write <

Question

, or =
in the blank.(1 point)
5 × 10−11
   3 × 10−11

Answer 1

To compare \(5 \times 10^{-11}\) and \(3 \times 10^{-11}\), we can look directly at the coefficients, since they both have the same exponent.

Since \(5 > 3\), we can conclude that:

\[5 \times 10^{-11} > 3 \times 10^{-11}\]

Therefore, the correct symbol to fill in the blank is:

\[
