2. >
Step-by-step explanation:
When multiplying the numbers, you start by finding the simplified term of the exponent. 10^3 is 1000. You then have 1.24 * 1000 ? 1 * 1000. You know 1.24 > 1. So You know that it is 1.24 ^ 10^3 is greater.
Find the simplified term of the exponents.
10^-4 = 0.0001 * 7.36 = 0.00736
10^-5 = 0.00001 * 8.5 = 0.000085
0.00736 > 0.000085
