Question

Solomon needs to distribute 10.5 gallons of perfume among 3.5x10^2 containers. How many gallons of perfume will be in each container? Write the answer in scientific notation.

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the number of gallons of perfume in each container, we divide the total amount of perfume by the number of containers:

10.5 gallons / (3.5 x 10^2 containers) = 0.03 gallons/container

Converting the answer to scientific notation, we have:

0.03 gallons/container = 3 x 10^-2 gallons/container

Answer 2

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

To find the number of gallons of perfume in each container, we need to divide the total amount of perfume (10.5 gallons) by the number of containers (3.5x10^2).

10.5 gallons ÷ (3.5x10^2 containers) = (10.5 ÷ 3.5) gallons ÷ (10^2 containers)

Simplifying, we get (10.5 ÷ 3.5) gallons ÷ (10^2 containers) = 3 gallons ÷ (10^2 containers)

Therefore, each container will have 3 gallons of perfume.

In scientific notation, this is represented as 3 x 10^0 gallons.

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find out how many gallons of perfume will be in each container, we need to divide the total amount of perfume (10.5 gallons) by the number of containers (3.5x10^2).

Step 1: Convert the number of containers to standard form.
3.5x10^2 = 350

Step 2: Divide the total amount of perfume by the number of containers.
10.5 gallons ÷ 350 containers = 0.03 gallons per container

Step 3: Express the answer in scientific notation.
0.03 = 3 x 10^-2

Therefore, there will be 3 x 10^-2 gallons of perfume in each container.
