The list shows the numbers of employees in the nine departments at a company.
14, 23, 6, 54, 30, 26, 17, 3, 26

What is the range of the numbers of employees in these departments?

Range of the numbers of employees = 51

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

14, 23, 6, 54, 30, 26, 17, 3, 26

Range = maximum number - minimum number

          = 54 - 3

          = 51

Range of the numbers of employees in these departments = 51

false

step-by-step explanation:

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
