Answer 1

The statement 10.7 _____ 1.07 x 10^1 is true when the inequality symbol '=' is used, because 1.07 x 10^1 equals 10.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking to compare the numbers 10.7 and 1.07 x 10^1 using an inequality symbol. To compare these numbers, we should first simplify 1.07 x 10^1. Since 10^1 is equal to 10, the expression 1.07 x 10^1 simplifies to 1.07 x 10, which is 10.7.

Now we compare 10.7 with 10.7, which are equal, so the correct inequality symbol to make the statement true is equals ( = ). Therefore, the complete sentence is 10.7 = 10.7.
