Question

So, I'm trying to do my math homework, can someone help me write a sentence to compare the value of 0.8×10² to the value of 0.8÷10²

Answer 1

Using scientific notation, it is found that the value of 0.8×10² is 10,000 times greater than the value of 0.8÷10².

What is scientific notation?

A number in scientific notation is given by:

$a \times 10^b$

With the base being $a \in [1, 10)$.

In this problem, the numbers are given as follows:

• $0.8 \times 10^{2}$.

• $\frac{0.8}{10^2} = 0.8 \times 10^{-2}$

The ratio between them is given by:

$\frac{0.8 \times 10^{2}}{0.8 \times 10^{-2}} = 10^{2 - (-2)} = 10^4$

10^4 = 10,000, hence the value of 0.8×10² is 10,000 times greater than the value of 0.8÷10².
