Question

The average distance from the sun to the planet Mercury is about 58,000,000 km. The diameter of a human hair is about 0.0025 cm.

Answer 1

Answer:

58,000,000 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Distance of Sun and Mercury = 58,000,000 km.

In Scientific notation, it would be: 5.8 × 10⁷ Km

Diameter of a human hair = 0.0025 cm

In scientific notation, it would be: 2.5 × 10⁻³ cm

Before Comparison, we need to bring  to  or vice-versa, so we can easily calculate then, here, we will go from cm to Km.

2.5 × 10⁻³ × 10⁻⁵ Km = 2.5 × 10⁻⁸

Now, we can compare the values,  

5.8 × 10⁷ Km > 2.5 × 10⁻⁸

[ reason. - power of smaller number is in negative, it means, it is denominator, which would be very small as compared to other ]
