Which symbol makes the statement true? Write < , > , or = in the blank.(1 point) 5 × 10^−11 3 × 10^−11

Answer 1

To compare \(5 \times 10^{-11}\) and \(3 \times 10^{-11}\), we can compare the coefficients \(5\) and \(3\) since they both have the same power of \(10^{-11}\).

Since \(5\) is greater than \(3\), we can conclude that:

\[5 \times 10^{-11} > 3 \times 10^{-11}\]

Thus, the correct symbol to make the statement true is \(>\).

So, the complete statement is:

\(5 \times 10^{-11} > 3 \times 10^{-11}\).
