(3.6x10^-5)/(1.8x10^2)
Multiply the numbers 3.6 x 1.8 = 6.48
Add the exponents from the base of 10
(-5 + 2) = -3
THus your answer is
6.48 x 10^-3
Always recall that your answer in scientific notation must be a number between 1 and 10 : )
I suggest you divide instead
(3.6x10^-5)/(1.8x10^2)
= (3.6/1.8) x 10^(-5-2)
= 2.0 x 10^-7
To solve the equation (3.6x10^-5)/(1.8x10^2), you need to divide the numerator (3.6x10^-5) by the denominator (1.8x10^2). Here's how:
1. First, divide the two numerical parts: 3.6 ÷ 1.8 = 2.
2. Then, divide the two exponential parts: 10^-5 ÷ 10^2 = 10^-5-2 = 10^-7.
3. Combine the numerical and exponential parts: 2 x 10^-7.
Therefore, the result of (3.6x10^-5)/(1.8x10^2) is 2x10^-7.
