Question

Simon score 4x10^2 points in a game. Joe scored 2x10^3 points in the same game. whose score is higher? how much higher?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Joe scored higher by 1600

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Simon = 4 * 10^2$

$Joe = 2 * 10^3$

Solving (a): Which is higher?

First, we need to convert both numbers to whole numbers

$Simon = 4 * 100$

$Simon = 400$

$Joe = 2 * 10^3$

$Joe = 2 * 1000$

$Joe = 2000$

2000 is greater than 400;

Hence, Joe score higher

Solving (b): By how much?

We simply calculate the difference

$Difference = Joe - Simon$

$Difference = 2000 - 400$

$Difference = 1600$
