Answer 1

First let us look on the scientific notation. The number which has the highest notation is bigger, in this case these are the numbers of Los Angeles Angels (1.26 * 10^6) and Chicago Cubs (1.87 * 10^6). Now comparing the two numbers without the notation 1.26 and 1.87, of course the Chicago Cubs has a bigger number. Therefore the answer is:

D.Chicago Cubs

Answer 2

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We can determined the greatest attendance by calculating each value and seeing which one is the biggest value:

For the Florida Marlins:

$6.76*10^5=676000$

For the Los Angeles Angels:

$1.26*10^6=1260000$

For the Pittsburgh Pirates:

$9.78*10^5=978000$

For the Chicago Cubs:

$1.87*10^6=1870000$

Therefore the Chicago Cubs had the greatest attendance which is D.
