Answer:
The largest of the three number is [tex]8.2\times 10^{-3}[/tex]
And smallest number number is [tex]4.1\times 10^{-6}[/tex]
and it is 2000 times greater than smaller number.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The three numbers expressed in scientific notation.
1) [tex]8.2\times 10^{-3}[/tex]
2) [tex]5.2\times 10^{-6}[/tex]
3) [tex]4.1\times 10^{-6}[/tex]
We have to find the greatest number and by how many times is it greater than the smallest number.
Consider the given numbers
1) [tex]8.2\times 10^{-3}[/tex] is same as 0.0082
2) [tex]5.2\times 10^{-6}[/tex] is same as 0.0000052
3) [tex]4.1\times 10^{-6}[/tex] is same as 0.0000041
So the largest of the three number is 0.0082
And smallest number number is 0.0000041
The Ratio of greatest number to smallest number is
[tex]\frac{8.2\times10^{-3}}{4.1\cdot10^{-6}}=2000[/tex]
Thus, greater number is 2000 times greater than smaller number.
