Question

attendance this past season for the pittsburgh points was $1.87×10^{6}$ and for the miami means was $1.99×10^{7}$. find the difference in attendance of these two teams. answer in scientific notation without units. provide a coefficient accurate to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

Step1: Rewrite numbers with same exponent

Rewrite \(1.87\times10^{6}\) as \(0.187\times 10^{7}\).

Step2: Subtract the coefficients

\((1.99 - 0.187)\times10^{7}\)
\(1.99-0.187 = 1.803\)

Step3: Round the coefficient

Round \(1.803\) to the nearest hundredth: \(1.80\)

Answer:

\(1.80\times 10^{7}\)
