Question

Use an appropriate comparison symbol $0.00000998$ ______ $0.0000116$.

• A. $<$
• B. $>$
• C. $=$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$<$

$0\cdot 00000998=9\cdot 89\times {10}^{-6}$
$0\cdot 0000116=1\cdot 16\times {10}^{-5}$
Thus $9\cdot 89\times {10}^{-6}<1\cdot 16\times {10}^{-5}$
