Q. Which sign makes the statement true?\newline56?5.60×10156 \, ? \, 5.60 \times 10^1\newlineChoices:\newline(A) >>\newline(B) <<\newline(C) ==
  1. Understand the problem: Understand the problem.\newlineWe need to compare two numbers: 5656 and 5.60×1015.60 \times 10^1. We need to determine which mathematical sign (>>, <<, or ==) correctly represents the relationship between these two numbers.
  2. Convert to standard form: Convert the scientific notation to standard form.\newline5.60×1015.60 \times 10^1 means that we move the decimal point in 5.605.60 one place to the right because the exponent on 1010 is 11.\newline5.60×101=56.05.60 \times 10^1 = 56.0
  3. Compare the numbers: Compare the two numbers.\newlineNow we compare 5656 and 56.056.0.\newlineSince 5656 is equal to 56.056.0 (the decimal point and the zero do not change the value of the number), the correct sign is "==".
