To compare the two numbers \(5 \times 10^{-11}\) and \(3 \times 10^{-11}\):
Since both numbers have the same exponent of \(10^{-11}\), we can compare the coefficients (the numbers in front of the \(10\)) directly:
5 is greater than 3.
Therefore, we can write:
\(5 \times 10^{-11} > 3 \times 10^{-11}\).
So the symbol that makes the statement true is \(>\).
