The main mathematical step used to solve percent proportion is...

To solve percent problems, you can use the equation, Percent · Base = Amount, and solve for the unknown numbers. Or, you can set up the proportion, Percent =, where the percent is a ratio of a number to 100. You can then use cross multiplication to solve the proportion.

Mutiply The numbers by 100 to turn into a percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 is greater then both of those numbers

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.
