CONSIDER

8.2×10^-3 AS 0.0082

5.2×10^-6 AS 0.0000052

4.1×10^-6 AS 0.0000041

NOW

LARGEST NUMBER OF THIS THREE IS "0.0082"

SMALLEST NUMBER OF THIS THREE IS "0.0000041"

THE RATIO OF THE GREATEST NUMBER AND SMALLEST NUMBER IS

8.2×10^-3

________ IS EQUAL TO 2000

4.1×10^-6

THUS GREATER NUMBER IS 2000 TIMES GREATER THAN SMALLER NUMBER

Answer 2

Answer:

8.2 x 10^-3 is the greatest. It is 2000 times greater than the smallest number.

Step-by-step explanation:

(8.2 x 10^-3) has the largest exponent so it is the largest number.

(5.2 x 10^-6) = 0.0000052 = 52/1000000000

(4.1 x 10^-6) = 0.0000041 = 41/1000000000

(4.1 x 10^-6) is the smallest.

(8.2 x 10^-3)  /  (4.1 x 10^-6) =  2000
