Question

If $\text{U}=3,456\times {10}^4$ and $\text{D}=9,999\times {10}^3$, which among $\text{U}$ and $\text{D}$ has the lesser value?

• A. $\text{U}$
• B. $\text{D}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\text{D}$

$\text{U}=3,456\times {10}^4=3,456\times 10,000=34,560,000$, which is thirty-four million five hundred sixty thousand.

And, $\text{D}=9,999\times {10}^3=9,999\times 1,000=9,999,000$, which is nine million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand.

Thus, $\text{D}$ is lesser than $\text{U}$.
