Q. Which sign makes the statement true?\newline3.7×104?3.7×1033.7 \times 10^{4} \,?\, 3.7 \times 10^{3}\newlineChoices:\newline(A) >>\newline(B) <<\newline(C) ==
  1. Analyze expressions: Analyze the given expressions.\newlineWe have 3.7×1043.7 \times 10^4 and 3.7×1033.7 \times 10^3. \newlineAre the exponents the same or different?\newlineExponents are 44 and 33. \newlineBoth exponents are different.
  2. Compare exponents: Compare the exponents.\newlineSince the base numbers 3.73.7 are the same, we only need to compare the exponents to determine the inequality.\newlineExponents are 44 and 33. \newline4>34 > 3 \newlineTherefore, 3.7×104>3.7×1033.7 \times 10^4 > 3.7 \times 10^3.
