Question

Somebody help me lol

Answer 1

Answer:
`1.03*10^(-1)>3.1*10^(-2)>2.01*10^(-3)>2.32*10^(-4)>4.2*10^(-5)`

Explanation:

1. A number written in scientific notation has the following form:

`a10^(b)`

Where is
`a` is a number between 1 and 10 but not including 10, and b is an integer.

2. The negative exponent indicates the number of places the decimal point must be moved to the left to obtain the number as a decimal number.

3. Keeping this on mind, you can know that: if the exponent of a number written in scientific notation indicates that the decimal point must be moved 5 places to the left and another number written in scientific notation indicates that the decimal point must be moved 2 places to the left, then the first number is smaller than the second one.

4. Therefore, you can arrange the numbers given in the problem as following:

`1.03*10^(-1)>3.1*10^(-2)>2.01*10^(-3)>2.32*10^(-4)>4.2*10^(-5)`
