Answer 1

4.2 x 10-4, 5.2 x 10-2, and 5.2 x 10–1 are all greater than 3.2 x 10-3.

Explanation:

First we calculate the first equation, using the order of operations, or PEMDAS.

3.2 x 10-3 = 29

so we now have to check the other numbers

2.1 x 10-3 = 18

4.2 x 10-4 = 38

5.2 x 10-2 = 50

5.2 x 10–1 = 51

In the end it shows that all but 2.1 x 10-3 are greater than 3.2 x 10-3.
