Question

Divide 3.3 x 10^4 by 5.5x 10^7

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To divide numbers expressed in scientific notation, we divide the base numbers and subtract the exponents.

So, dividing 3.3 x 10^4 by 5.5 x 10^7 would be:

(3.3 / 5.5) x 10^(4 - 7)
0.6 x 10^-3

However, since we want to write the result in scientific notation, we need to adjust the decimal point to have one digit before it.

So, 0.6 x 10^-3 becomes:

6 x 10^-4

To divide two numbers written in scientific notation, you can follow the steps below:

Step 1: Divide the coefficients (the numbers out front).
In this case, divide 3.3 by 5.5:
3.3 ÷ 5.5 = 0.6

Step 2: Subtract the exponents of the powers of 10.
In this case, subtract the exponent of 10^7 from the exponent of 10^4:
10^4 ÷ 10^7 = 10^(4 - 7) = 10^(-3)

Step 3: Combine the results from the previous two steps.
0.6 × 10^(-3)

The final answer, written in scientific notation, is 0.6 x 10^(-3).

Answer 3

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

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

Step 1: Divide the two numbers without their exponents.
3.3 ÷ 5.5 = 0.6

Step 2: Divide the exponents of the two numbers.
10^4 ÷ 10^7 = 10^(4-7) = 10^-3

Step 3: Combine the result from step 1 and the result from step 2.
0.6 x 10^-3

The final answer is 0.6 x 10^-3.
