Question

Evaluate the following quotient. Leave your answer in scientific notation(5.44 x 10-18) + (6.8 x 10-))Answer

Answer 1

Given:

`(5.44*10^(-18))/(6.8*10^(-9))`

It can be written as follows.

`(5.44*10^(-18))/(6.8*10^(-9))=(5.44*10^(-18))/(6.8*10^(-9))`
`\text{Use }(1)/(10^(-9))=10^9.`

`=\frac{5.44*10^(-18)*10^9}{6.8^{}}`

`=\frac{5.44*10^(-18+9)^{}}{6.8^{}}`

`=\frac{5.44*10^(-9)}{6.8^{}}`

Dividing 5.44 by 6.8, we get

`=0.8*10^(-9)^{}`
`(5.44*10^(-18))/(6.8*10^(-9))=0.8*10^(-9)`

Hence the quotient is

`0.8*10^(-9)`
