Samuel is incorrect because he didn't subtract the power of the numbers.

<h3>How many more rod cells are there?</h3>

The number of rod and cone cells in the human eye is written in scientific notation. Scientific notation is used in expressing large numbers in smaller numbers. To write a number in scientific notation, the number is written as a decimal number, between 1 and 10 and multiplied by a power of 10. For example, 1 x 10² is equivalent to 100

(9.1 x 10^7) - (4.5 x 10^6)

= (9.1 - 4.5) x 10^(7 - 6)

4.6 x 10 = 46
