To calculate \( 6.25 \times 10^6 - 4.73 \times 10^6 \):
-
First, combine the coefficients (the numbers in front of the \( 10^6 \)): \[ 6.25 - 4.73 = 1.52 \]
-
Since the powers of ten are the same (\( 10^6 \)), we keep that part: \[ 1.52 \times 10^6 \]
-
Now, express this answer in scientific notation to two decimal places: \[ 1.52 \times 10^6 \]
Thus, the final answer is: \[ \boxed{1.52 \times 10^6} \]
