Question

attendance this past season for the los angeles angles was $6.29 \times 10^{6}$ and for the chicago constants was $6.3 \times 10^{6}$. 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: Convert numbers to same power of 10

$$6.29\times10^{6}=629\times10^{4}$$
$$6.3\times10^{5}=63\times10^{4}$$

Step2: Subtract the two numbers

$$629\times10^{4}-63\times10^{4}=(629 - 63)\times10^{4}=566\times10^{4}$$

Step3: Convert result to scientific notation

$$566\times10^{4}=5.66\times10^{6}$$

Answer:

$5.66\times10^{6}$
