Think of a circle. We know it (and all circles) measure 360°. If you think about bisecting that circle, you would divide its 360° by 2, which results in 180°. The circle becomes a half-circle after being bisected, and its straight side (a straight angle) is 180°.

I've attached a diagram illustrating this.

Which shows the expression below in simplified form? (7 × 10-3) - (2.3 × 10-6) A. 6.9977 × 10-3 B. 6.99977 × 10-3 C. 6.9977 × 10

Option A

$(7 \times 10^{-3}) - (2.3 \times 10^{-6}) = 6.9977 \times 10^{-3}$

Solution:

Given expression is:

$(7 \times 10^{-3}) - (2.3 \times 10^{-6})$

To evaluate the expression, let us make the exponent of 10 same

$2.3 \times 10^{-6} = 0.0023 \times 10^{-6+3} = 0.0023 \times 10^{-3}$

[ Here, decimal point is moved three times left, so add 3 ]

Therefore,

$(7 \times 10^{-3}) - (2.3 \times 10^{-6}) = (7 \times 10^{-3}) - (0.0023 \times 10^{-3})$

$\text{Take the } 10^{-3} \text{ as common }$

$(7 \times 10^{-3}) - (0.0023 \times 10^{-3}) = 10^{-3}(7-0.0023)\\\\\text{ Solve for terms inside the bracket }\\\\(7 \times 10^{-3}) - (0.0023 \times 10^{-3}) = 10^{-3} \times 6.9977\\\\\text{Therefore, the simplified expression is: }\\\\(7 \times 10^{-3}) - (0.0023 \times 10^{-3}) = 6.9977 \times 10^{-3}$
