Well u wanna do the first part for the freight train

$$9.98\times10^6 =9,980,000$$

Second part for the aircraft carrier

$$7.3\times10^7=73,000,000$$

Now u wanna subtract the freight train by the aircraft carrier

$$73,000,000- 9,980,000=63,020,000$$

Concluding in the scientific notation being:

$$6.302 × 10^7$$

There are approximately 6.302 x 10^7 many more kilograms is the mass of an aircraft carrier than the mass of a freight train when put in the form of scientific notation
