Question

evaluate. express your answer in scientific notation. 4.7×10^6 - 3.7×10^5 answer attempt 1 out of 5 answer: ×10^

Explanation:

Step1: Make the exponents the same

Rewrite $3.7\times 10^{5}$ as $0.37\times 10^{6}$ since $3.7\times 10^{5}=3.7\times\frac{10^{6}}{10}= 0.37\times 10^{6}$.

Step2: Subtract the coefficients

$4.7\times 10^{6}-0.37\times 10^{6}=(4.7 - 0.37)\times 10^{6}$.
$4.7-0.37 = 4.33$.
So the result is $4.33\times 10^{6}$.

Answer:

$4.33\times 10^{6}$
