Question

1. enter your answer. how do the numbers 6.8×10^5 and 3.4×10^2 compare?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the value of $6.8\times10^{5}$

$6.8\times10^{5}=6.8\times100000 = 680000$

Step2: Calculate the value of $3.4\times10^{2}$

$3.4\times10^{2}=3.4\times100=340$

Step3: Compare the two values

$\frac{6.8\times10^{5}}{3.4\times10^{2}}=\frac{680000}{340}= 2000$. So $6.8\times10^{5}$ is 2000 times larger than $3.4\times10^{2}$.

Answer:

$6.8\times10^{5}$ is 2000 times larger than $3.4\times10^{2}$
