Answer :
The greatest number is [tex]1.997 \times 10^2[/tex]
Solution:
Given that the numbers are:
[tex]2.89 \times 10^{-8}\\\\1.997 \times 10^2\\\\8.9 \times 10^{-6}\\\\5 \times 10^{-6}[/tex]
We have to find the number that is greatest
Convert the numbers to decimal
[tex]2.89 \times 10^{-8} = 2.89 \times \frac{1}{10^8} =0.0000000289[/tex]
[tex]1.997 \times 10^2 = 199.7[/tex]
[tex]8.9\times 10^{-6}=8.9\times \frac{1}{10^6}=0.0000089[/tex]
[tex]5\times 10^{-6}=5\times \frac{1}{10^6}=0.000005[/tex]
We can clearly see that, 199.7 is greatest number
Thus the greatest number is [tex]1.997 \times 10^2[/tex]
