Answer:
2.0x10^6
Explanation:
First, let's change the number in the numerator into scientific notation.
180/ 9.0x 10^-5 = 1.80x10^2/ 9.0x10^-5
Start by collecting the significance and exponents.
1.80X10^2/ 9.0x10^-5 = 1.80/ 9.0x 10^2/10^-5
Then divide each term separately. When dividing exponents with the same base, subtract their power.
=0.20x10^2-(-5) =0.20x 10^7
To write the answer correctly in scientific notation, the first number needs to be between 1 and 10. In this case, we need to move the decimal one position to the right without changing the value of our answer.
We can use the fact that 0.20 is the same as 2.0/10, or 2.0x 10^-1
=2.0x10^-1x 10^7
=2.0x 10^-1+7
=2.0x 10^6
