Divide in scientific notation practice
Sure! Here are a few examples of division problems in scientific notation for you to practice:
1) (5.4 x 10^4) ÷ (2.7 x 10^2)
To divide these numbers, divide the coefficients (5.4 ÷ 2.7 = 2), and subtract the exponents of the powers of 10 (4 - 2 = 2). Therefore, the answer is 2 x 10^2.
2) (9.8 x 10^5) ÷ (6.2 x 10^3)
Divide the coefficients (9.8 ÷ 6.2 = 1.58), and subtract the exponents (5 - 3 = 2). The answer is 1.58 x 10^2.
3) (3.6 x 10^8) ÷ (1.8 x 10^4)
Divide the coefficients (3.6 ÷ 1.8 = 2), and subtract the exponents (8 - 4 = 4). The result is 2 x 10^4.
4) (7.5 x 10^13) ÷ (9.6 x 10^6)
Divide the coefficients (7.5 ÷ 9.6 ≈ 0.78125), and subtract the exponents (13 - 6 = 7). The answer is approximately 0.78125 x 10^7.
Remember to simplify the resulting fraction or decimal whenever possible.
Sure! Let's practice dividing numbers in scientific notation. Here's a step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write down the two numbers that you want to divide in scientific notation. For example, let's say we want to divide 3.6 x 10^5 by 2.4 x 10^3.
Step 2: Divide the base numbers (the non-exponent part of the scientific notation) like you would with normal division. In this case, divide 3.6 by 2.4, which gives you 1.5.
Step 3: Divide the exponents by subtracting them. In this case, subtract 10^3 from 10^5, which gives you 10^2.
Step 4: Combine the result from step 2 and step 3 to get the answer in scientific notation. So, the final answer is 1.5 x 10^2.
That's it! You have successfully divided numbers in scientific notation. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with!
Sure! I can help you practice dividing numbers written in scientific notation.
To divide numbers in scientific notation, you need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Write down the two numbers you want to divide in scientific notation.
For example, let's say we want to divide 3.4 x 10^4 by 2.5 x 10^2.
Step 2: Divide the coefficients (the numbers before the powers of 10).
In this case, divide 3.4 by 2.5. The result is 1.36.
Step 3: Divide the exponents (subtract the powers of 10).
In this case, subtract 10^2 from 10^4. The result is 10^2.
Step 4: Combine the coefficient and the power of 10 to express the answer in scientific notation.
The result is 1.36 x 10^2.
So the division of 3.4 x 10^4 by 2.5 x 10^2 is equal to 1.36 x 10^2.
You can practice this method with different numbers in scientific notation to gain more confidence in dividing them.
