Question

is .043×10 to the 6 power greater or less or equal to 43×10 to the 3 power

Answer 1

put both in proper scientific notation

.043 * 10^6 = 4.3 * 10^(6-2) = 4.3 * 10^4

43*10^3 = 4.3 * 10^4

they are equal

Answer 2

.043×10 to the 6 power

= .043 x 10^6

43 × 10 to the 3 power

= 43 x 10^3

= 43,000

so  .043 × 10 to the 6 power is equal  43 × 10 to the 3 power
