Question

A quotient of 8.4×10^9 and a number n results in 5.6×10^27 what is the value of n

Answer 1

Translated to notation, this question is asking you to solve for n when:


`(8.4*10^9)/(n)=5.6*10^(27)`

A good first step would be to multiply both sides by n, cancelling out the n in the denominator on the left side and leaving you with:


`8.4*10^9=(5.6*10^(27))n`

And of course, to get n by itself from here, you simply divide both sides by
`5.6*10^(27)`:


`n= (8.4*10^9)/(5.6*10^(27))`
