Answer: 640.9 x 10^6

Explanation:

To subtract (6.5 x 10^8) − (9.1 x 10^6) using scientific notation, you need to make sure that both numbers have the same exponent.

First, let's rewrite the numbers in scientific notation:

6.5 x 10^8 = 650 x 10^6

9.1 x 10^6

Since both numbers have the same exponent (10^6), you can subtract the coefficients:

650 - 9.1 = 640.9

Now, keep the common exponent of 10^6:

640.9 x 10^6

Therefore, the difference between (6.5 x 10^8) and (9.1 x 10^6) is 640.9 x 10^6.

Hope this helps
