Bot, Compare 364,879; 463,000; and 436,765 using scientific notation. Which number has the least value?(1 point)

Answer 1

To compare the numbers using scientific notation, let's express each of them in the form of a × 10^b, where a is a number between 1 and 10, and b is an integer.

- 364,879 = 3.64879 × 10^5
- 463,000 = 4.63 × 10^5
- 436,765 = 4.36765 × 10^5

Since a number is determined by its coefficient (a) in scientific notation, to determine which number has the least value, we compare the coefficients.

From the three numbers, 3.64879, 4.63, and 4.36765, we can see that 3.64879 is the smallest.

Thus, the number 364,879 (in scientific notation as 3.64879 × 10^5) has the least value.

Answer 3

To compare the numbers 7, 7.2, 7.2, and 7.6 in scientific notation, we need to express them in the form a × 10^b, where a is a number between 1 and 10, and b is an integer.

Converting the numbers to scientific notation:
- 7 = 7 × 10^0
- 7.2 = 7.2 × 10^0
- 7.2 = 7.2 × 10^0
- 7.6 = 7.6 × 10^0

Since all the numbers have the same coefficient, 7, we cannot compare them based on their coefficients.

When two or more numbers have the same coefficient in scientific notation, the one with the larger base (b) has the least value. Since all the bases are 0, they are equal in terms of value.

Therefore, none of the numbers have the least value, as they are all equal to one another.
