Question

How many times larger than 2x10^3 is 6x10^6?

Answer 1

Answer: 5,998,000

Step-by-step explanation:

2x10^3= 2,000

6x10^6= 6,000,000

In translation, Use 1 x The Initial SIG FIGS, or first numbers. 10x10 is 100, and notice how 10 and 10 have 2 zeros, so 1x1 = 1 +00 is a way to construct the number.

In this case, the 10^x, the x can represent the number of zeros after our first value.

So, 6 + six zeros, or 6,000,000

and, 2 + 3 zeros, or 2,000

To find the difference, subtract the numbers from eachother and extract the absolute value, (meaning the final answer won't be negative).

So, 6,000,000 - 2,000 = 5,998,000, which is the answer to the prompt!
