Question

Determine the quotient of (7.7 × 10–2) ÷ (2.2 × 10–2). Write your answer in scientific notation.

Answer 1

Given:

`(7.7\ast10^(-2))/(2.2\ast10^(-2))`

The quotient is the result of the division of both numbers.

To find the quotient, let's perform the division.

We have:

`\frac{7.7\ast10^(-2)^{}^{}_{}}{2.2\ast10^(-2)}=3.5`

The quotient is 3.5

The answer in scientific notation is:

`3.5\ast10^0`

ANSWER:

`3.5\ast10^0`
