Question

Perform the following operationand express the answer inscientific notation.6x10^2 / 8x10^12

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The operation is:

`(6\cdot10^2)/(8\cdot10^(12))`

6/8 is 0.75 but if we want to write 0.75 or 7.5 with its respective scientific notation, we're going to have that:

`(6*10^(2))/(8*10^(12))=0.75\cdot10^(-10)=7.5\cdot10^(-11).`

It's commonly to use the second answer which is 7.5 x 10^(-11) .
