Question

What is the value of the expression All of 3.6 multiplied by 10 to the power 8 over all of 1.2 multiplied by 10 to the power 3?

a 2.4 × 10^5
b 3.0 × 10^11
c 3.0 × 10^5
d 2.4 × 10^11

Answer 1

Your answer would be 3.0 X 10^5

Explanation:

3.6 X 10^8 over 1.2 X 10^3 would give you 300000 which we put in scientific notation which we move the decimal 5 places to the left. Then we get 3.0 X 10^5

Hope this helps! :-)

Answer 2

you divide 3.6 by 1.2 as you normally would and then subtract the exponents to get c. 3.0 x 10^5
