Answer 1

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation

2.167x10^4 = 21,670

                   = 9,978

1.1x10^6      = 1100,000

                   = 56,344,000

2.468x10^5 =  246,800

Answer 2

Answer: A. 9,978

Based on the power, move the decimal point that many spaces to the right. (E.g., If it's 4.2 × 10^3, then move the decimal three spaces to the right, and you'd get 4200.)

2.167 × 10^4 = 21670

1.1 × 10^6 = 1100000

2.468 × 10^5 = 246800

Out of all the numbers mentioned in the question, 9,978 is the only one that's less than 2.167 × 10^4 = 21670.
