Use scientific notation to determine which of these numbers is greater: 34,853,760 or 43,835,760. Write your answer in scientific notation, expressed to the exact decimal place.

Answer 1

To convert these numbers into scientific notation, we need to write them in the form of "a × 10^b", where "a" is a number between 1 and 10, and "b" is an integer.

For the number 34,853,760, we can write it as 3.4853760 × 10^7.
For the number 43,835,760, we can write it as 4.3835760 × 10^7.

The exponent (the "b" value) is the same for both numbers (7), so we need to compare the "a" values. In this case, 4.3835760 is greater than 3.4853760.

Therefore, in scientific notation, 43,835,760 is greater than 34,853,760.
