Which number is larger?

Question

Responses
A. 2.3 x 10^-3 2 point 3 times 10 raised to the 1 3 power
B 2.3 x 10^-4

Answer 1

To compare the two numbers, we can convert them to decimal form:

A. \(2.3 \times 10^{-3} = 0.0023\)

B. \(2.3 \times 10^{-4} = 0.00023\)

Now, comparing the two:

• \(0.0023\) (A) is larger than \(0.00023\) (B).

Thus, A is the larger number.
