Answer 2

The correct statement of the given indices is; A: (2.06 × 10⁻²)(1.88 × 10⁻¹) < (7.69 × 10⁻²)/(2.3 × 10⁻⁵)

How to interprete indices?

Let us first look at the left hand side;

2.06 × 10⁻² = 0.0206

1.88 × 10⁻¹ = 0.188

Thus the product is;

0.0206 * 0.188 = 0.0038728 = 3.8728 * 10⁻³

Now, for the right hand side, we have;

7.69 × 10⁻² = 0.0769

2.3 × 10⁻⁵ = 0.000023

Thus, when we divide we have;

0.0769/0.000023 = 3.3435 * 10³

Thus, left hand side is less than right hand side and as such option A is correct.
