Q. Which sign makes the statement true?\newline80,000?8.0×10480,000 \, ? \, 8.0 \times 10^4\newlineChoices:\newline(A) >>\newline(B) <<\newline(C) ==
  1. Understand the problem: Understand the problem.\newlineWe need to compare two numbers: 80,00080,000 and 8.0×1048.0 \times 10^4. We want to find out if 80,00080,000 is greater than, less than, or equal to 8.0×1048.0 \times 10^4.
  2. Convert to standard form: Convert 8.0×1048.0 \times 10^4 to standard form.\newline8.0×1048.0 \times 10^4 is the scientific notation for 8.08.0 multiplied by 1010 raised to the power of 44. To convert it to standard form, we multiply 8.08.0 by 10,00010,000 (which is 10410^4).\newline8.0×10,000=80,0008.0 \times 10,000 = 80,000.
  3. Compare the numbers: Compare the two numbers.\newlineNow we have 80,000?80,00080,000 \,?\, 80,000.\newlineSince both numbers are the same, the correct sign is "==".
