Question

3.2×10^4 divided by 2.56×10^−2

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To divide these numbers, we can divide the coefficients (3.2 ÷ 2.56) and subtract the exponents of 10 (4 - (-2)).

3.2 ÷ 2.56 = 1.25

10^(4 - (-2)) = 10^6

Therefore, the division result is 1.25 × 10^6.

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To divide numbers expressed in scientific notation, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Divide the numerical coefficients.
3.2 ÷ 2.56 = 1.25

Step 2: Subtract the exponents of the powers of 10.
10^4 ÷ 10^(-2) = 10^(4 - (-2)) = 10^6

Combining the steps above, the division of 3.2×10^4 by 2.56×10^(-2) equals 1.25 × 10^6.

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To divide numbers written in scientific notation, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Divide the coefficients (numbers in front of the powers of 10).
In this case, divide 3.2 by 2.56:

3.2 ÷ 2.56 = 1.25

Step 2: Divide the powers of 10 by subtracting the exponents.

Exponent of 10 in the numerator: 4
Exponent of 10 in the denominator: -2

4 - (-2) = 4 + 2 = 6

Step 3: Write the result using scientific notation.

The answer is 1.25 x 10^6.
