Considerate of these three numbers express and scientific notation 8.2×10 to the -3rd power 5.2×10 to the $96 and 4.1 times since I'm -6 hours which number is the greatest invite how many times does it rather than smallest number

Answer:

[tex]8.2 * 10^{-3}[/tex] is the greatest

2000 times greater

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]8.2 * 10^{-3}[/tex]

[tex]5.2 * 10^{-6}[/tex]

[tex]4.1 * 10^{-6}[/tex]

Solving (a): The greatest of the numbers

First, we convert them to decimals:

[tex]8.2 * 10^{-3} = 0.0082[/tex]

[tex]5.2 * 10^{-6} = 0.0000052[/tex]

[tex]4.1 * 10^{-6} = 0.0000041[/tex]

By comparing the decimal numbers, the highest is: 0.0082.

Hence,

[tex]8.2 * 10^{-3}[/tex] is the greatest

Solving (b): How many times greater than the smallest

In (a) above:

The greatest is: [tex]8.2 * 10^{-3}[/tex]

By comparing the decimal numbers,

The smallest is: 0.0000041 i.e. [tex]4.1 * 10^{-6}[/tex]

The number of times the greatest is greater than the smallest is:

[tex]Number = \frac{8.2 * 10^{-3}}{4.1 * 10^{-6}}[/tex]

[tex]Number = \frac{0.0082}{0.0000041}[/tex]

[tex]Number = 2000[/tex]

Hence, it is 2000 times greater
