Calculate 6.25 × 10⁶ - 4.73 × 10⁶. Express your answer in scientific notation to 2 decimal places

Answer 1

To calculate \( 6.25 \times 10^6 - 4.73 \times 10^6 \), we can first combine the coefficients since they have the same power of ten.

1. Subtract the coefficients: \[ 6.25 - 4.73 = 1.52 \]

2. Since both numbers are multiplied by \( 10^6 \), we can keep that part: \[ 1.52 \times 10^6 \]

Now, we express the final answer in scientific notation, which is already in the proper form.

Therefore, the answer is: \[ \boxed{1.52 \times 10^6} \]
