Question

How much greater is 4.8 x 10^3 than 200

Answer 1

10^3=1000

So multiply 1000 by 4.8 or you can just move the decimal 3 places over because of the exponent three

Either way will result in 4800

4800-200=4600

4600 is your answer

Answer 2

4,600

Explanation:

I solved 4.8 x 10^3 which gave me 4,800. Then subtracted 200.
