Final answer:
The value that is greater than 750 but less than 1,200 is 7.9 x 10^2 (option b), which equals 790.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks which of the following values is greater than 750 but less than 1,200:
- a) 8.3 x 10^3
- b) 7.9 x 10^2
- c) 1 x 10^-3
- d) 9.4 x 10^1
Let's convert these options into their decimal equivalents:
- a) 8.3 x 10^3 is 8,300, which is greater than 1,200.
- b) 7.9 x 10^2 is 790, which is greater than 750 and less than 1,200.
- c) 1 x 10^-3 is 0.001, which is less than 750.
- d) 9.4 x 10^1 is 94, which is also less than 750.
The only value that falls between 750 and 1,200 is option b, which is 7.9 x 10^2 or 790.
