To compare the two numbers \(3.3 \times 10^5\) and \(3.1 \times 10^5\), we can observe the coefficients (the numbers in front of the powers of ten) since they both have the same exponent of \(10^5\).
- For \(3.3 \times 10^5\), the coefficient is 3.3.
- For \(3.1 \times 10^5\), the coefficient is 3.1.
Since 3.3 is larger than 3.1, we can conclude that:
A \(3.3 \times 10^5\) is larger than B \(3.1 \times 10^5\).
So the answer is A: \(3.3 \times 10^5\).
