Math Problem Statement

Simplify the mathematical expressions and arrange them in order of their values from least to greatest.

Solution

To solve this problem, we need to simplify the given mathematical expressions and then compare the results to arrange them from least to greatest. Let's break down each of the provided expressions.

  1. First Expression: (4.27×108)(9.2×105)(4.27 \times 10^8) \cdot (9.2 \times 10^{-5}) To multiply, we combine the constants and powers of 10: 4.27×9.2=39.2844.27 \times 9.2 = 39.284 For the powers of 10: 108×105=108+(5)=10310^8 \times 10^{-5} = 10^{8 + (-5)} = 10^3 So the result is: 39.284×103=3.9284×10439.284 \times 10^3 = 3.9284 \times 10^4

  2. Second Expression: (6.96×105)(8.43×102)(6.96 \times 10^5) \cdot (8.43 \times 10^{-2}) Multiplying the constants: 6.96×8.43=58.67286.96 \times 8.43 = 58.6728 For the powers of 10: 105×102=1052=10310^5 \times 10^{-2} = 10^{5 - 2} = 10^3 So the result is: 58.6728×103=5.86728×10458.6728 \times 10^3 = 5.86728 \times 10^4

  3. Third Expression: (7.25×106)(9.36×107)\frac{(7.25 \times 10^6)}{(9.36 \times 10^{-7})} Dividing the constants: 7.25÷9.36=0.774797.25 \div 9.36 = 0.77479 For the powers of 10: 106÷107=106(7)=101310^6 \div 10^{-7} = 10^{6 - (-7)} = 10^{13} So the result is: 0.77479×1013=7.7479×10120.77479 \times 10^{13} = 7.7479 \times 10^{12}

  4. Fourth Expression: (8.32×104)(9.67×101)\frac{(8.32 \times 10^4)}{(9.67 \times 10^1)} Dividing the constants: 8.32÷9.67=0.86078.32 \div 9.67 = 0.8607 For the powers of 10: 104÷101=1041=10310^4 \div 10^1 = 10^{4 - 1} = 10^3 So the result is: 0.8607×103=8.607×1020.8607 \times 10^3 = 8.607 \times 10^2

  5. Fifth Expression: (1.89×104)(5.92×103)\frac{(1.89 \times 10^4)}{(5.92 \times 10^3)} Dividing the constants: 1.89÷5.92=0.319261.89 \div 5.92 = 0.31926 For the powers of 10: 104÷103=1043=10110^4 \div 10^3 = 10^{4 - 3} = 10^1 So the result is: 0.31926×101=3.19260.31926 \times 10^1 = 3.1926

Now, let’s arrange the results from least to greatest:

  1. 3.19263.1926
  2. 8.607×1028.607 \times 10^2
  3. 3.9284×1043.9284 \times 10^4
  4. 5.86728×1045.86728 \times 10^4
  5. 7.7479×10127.7479 \times 10^{12}
