Question

How to write a mixed number in science notation
`45(3)/(8)`

Answer 1

`4.5375*10^1`

Explanation:

The long division for 3/8 results in getting 0.375, so 45 3/8 is 45.375.

From here, the only thing you can really do is divide it by 10 to get

4.5375 and since you can't divide further, the answer would be

4.5375 * 10^1
