$3.48 \times 10^{-6} - 1.06 \times 10^{-6}$
answer attempt 1 out of 2
answer: $\square \times 10^{\square}$ submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Factor out \(10^{-6}\)

Since both terms have the same power of 10, we can factor \(10^{-6}\) out of the expression. So we have \((3.48 - 1.06)\times10^{-6}\).

Step2: Subtract the coefficients

Calculate the subtraction of the coefficients: \(3.48 - 1.06 = 2.42\).

Step3: Combine with the factored term

Now we combine the result of the subtraction with the factored \(10^{-6}\), giving us \(2.42\times10^{-6}\).

Answer:

\(2.42\times10^{-6}\)
