Use the drop down to compare the values.
6.25×109

>
8.45×105

Answer 1

To compare the two numbers \( 6.25 \times 10^9 \) and \( 8.45 \times 10^5 \), we can express both in standard form:

1. Convert \( 8.45 \times 10^5 \) to the same power of ten as \( 6.25 \times 10^9 \):

   • \( 8.45 \times 10^5 = 0.0845 \times 10^9 \)

2. Now we can compare:

   • \( 6.25 \times 10^9 \)
   • \( 0.0845 \times 10^9 \)

3. Since \( 6.25 > 0.0845 \), we conclude that:

   • \( 6.25 \times 10^9 > 8.45 \times 10^5 \)

So, the answer is: \[ 6.25 \times 10^9 > 8.45 \times 10^5 \]
