Question

Without using a calculator, decide which would give a significantly smaller value than 5.96 x 10^-2, which would give a significantly larger value, or which would give essentially the same value.

a. 5.96 x 10^-2 +8.56 x 10^-2
b.5.96 x 10^-2 - 8.56 x 10^-2
c.5.96 x 10^-2 x 8.56 x 10^-2
d.5.96 x 10^-2 / 8.56 x 10^-2

Answer 1
