Question

Please Help Soon!! I'm in a rush!!!

To best estimate the quotient in scientific notation, what number should replace m?

Answer 1

m=9-5 so answer is m=4

Answer 2

`m=4`

Explanation:

We have been given an equation. We are asked to find the value of m for our given equation.

`(6.22* 10^9)/(1.79* 10^5)=3* 10^m`

Let us solve left side of our given equation using exponent property for quotient
`(a^b)/(a^c)=a^(b-c)`.

`(6.22* 10^9)/(1.79* 10^5)=(6.22)/(1.79)* 10^(9-5)`

`(6.22* 10^9)/(1.79* 10^5)=3.18* 10^(4)`

Therefore, the value of m would be 4 for our given equation.
