Answer 1

A:

10^3 = 1,000

23•1,000 = 23,000

10^4 = 10,000

11•10,000 = 110,000

110,000 > 23,000

Answer 2

A. 23×10^3

B. 11×10^4



Your answer would be B, 11x10^4.

Explanation:

To find your answer you can evaluate each equation and compare your answers.

A:

10^3 = 1,000

23•1,000 = 23,000


B:

10^4 = 10,000

11•10,000 = 110,000
