Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The order of magnitude is 2 [as 999 = 9.99 × 10²]

Explanation:

• Order of magnitude: When a number can be expressed as the multiplication of $10^n$, then this 'n' is called the order of magnitude.

        Example:

       (i) A number is given 204. It can be expressed as $\frac{204}{100} \times 100$

                                                                                         = 2.04 × 10²

         Here the order of magnitude is 2.

      (ii) Another number = 1000, it can be expressed as 10³, so the order of magnitude = 3.

• Solution: Here the given number is = 999

        It can be expressed as = $\frac{999}{100} \times 100$ = 9.99 × 10²

       ∴ The order of magnitude is 2.
