Question

Find the quotient of (5.2 · 106) and (8 · 10-3).

6.5 · 10^8

65 · 10^7
6.5 · 10^9

Answer 1

i think that the correct answer would be 6.5 · 10^9. but im not 100% positive

Answer 2

Answer: The correct option is (B)
`65.10^7.`

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the following quotient :

`Q=(5.2* 10^6)/(8* 10^(-3)).`

To find the above quotient, we will try to combine the powers of 10 and divide the remaining terms as follows :

`Q=(5.2* 10^6)/(8* 10^(-3))=(520* 10^4)/(8* 10^(-3))=65* 10^(4+3)=65.10^7.`

Thus, the required quotient is
`65.10^7.`

Option (B) is CORRECT.
