Use scientific notation to determinate which of these numbers is greater 34,835,760 or 43,835,760 write your answer in scientific notation expresses to the exact decimal place

Answer 1

To compare the two numbers \( 34,835,760 \) and \( 43,835,760 \) using scientific notation, we first convert both numbers into scientific notation.

1. Convert \( 34,835,760 \) to scientific notation: \[ 34,835,760 = 3.483576 \times 10^7 \]

2. Convert \( 43,835,760 \) to scientific notation: \[ 43,835,760 = 4.383576 \times 10^7 \]

Now we can compare the two numbers in scientific notation:

• \( 3.483576 \times 10^7 \)
• \( 4.383576 \times 10^7 \)

Since both numbers are multiplied by \( 10^7 \), we can directly compare the coefficients:

• \( 3.483576 < 4.383576 \)

Thus, \( 4.383576 \times 10^7 \) (which is \( 43,835,760 \)) is greater than \( 3.483576 \times 10^7 \) (which is \( 34,835,760 \)).

Conclusion:

The greater number is \( 43,835,760 \), and in scientific notation, it is \[ \mathbf{4.383576 \times 10^7} \]
