Question

(7x10^5) divided by (2x10^2)

Answer 1

3500

Explanation:

`\frac{7 * {10}^(5) }{2 * {10}^(2) } = \frac{7 * {10}^(3) }{2} = (7 * 1000)/(2) = 7 * 500 = 3500`

When dividing 10^5 from 10^2, the degree indicators are subtracted (5 - 2 = 3), so that makes it 10^3

Then, we can write 10^3 as a natural number which is 1000 (the degree indicator in this case shows how many zeros does this number have, 1000 has 3 zeros)

Finally, we divide 1000 from 2, we get 500 and we multiply it by 7

The answer is 3500
