Arrange the values according to magnitude.

Question

Arrange the values according to magnitude.

Write Greatest to least

58000, 1.0 x 10^5 , 4.3 x 10^-2, 9.0 x 10^-6, 8.1 x 10^-6

Answer 1

Hi Kylie, I can help with this one.

So, we want to order the values from greatest to least.

1.0 x 10^5 will be the greatest value here, because 1.0 x 10^5 is the same as 1 with 5 zeroes after: 100,000.

58,000 is the second largest number.

4.3 x 10^-2 is the third largest number here, because 4.3 x 10^-2 is the same as 0.043.

9.0 x 10^-6 is the fourth largest number here.

8.1 x 10^-6 is the smallest number here.

Thus, the order of values from greatest to least is:

1.0 x 10^5, 58000, 4.3 x 10^-2, 9.0 x 10^-6, 8.1 x 10^-6
