Solve {l}{1.60*10^-8}{1.62*10^-8}

$$\left. \begin{array} { l } { 1.60 \times 10 ^ { - 8 } } \\ { 1.62 \times 10 ^ { - 8 } } \end{array} \right.$$

Sort

$$0.000000016,\ 0.0000000162$$

Solution Steps

Calculate 10 to the power of -8 and get \frac{1}{100000000}.

$$sort(1.6\times \frac{1}{100000000},1.62\times 10^{-8})$$

Multiply 1.6 and \frac{1}{100000000} to get \frac{1}{62500000}.

$$sort(\frac{1}{62500000},1.62\times 10^{-8})$$

Calculate 10 to the power of -8 and get \frac{1}{100000000}.

$$sort(\frac{1}{62500000},1.62\times \frac{1}{100000000})$$

Multiply 1.62 and \frac{1}{100000000} to get \frac{81}{5000000000}.

$$sort(\frac{1}{62500000},\frac{81}{5000000000})$$
