Divide in scientific notation practice unit 4 lesson 9

Answer 1

Sure, here are a few practice problems involving dividing numbers in scientific notation:

1. (3.2 x 10^4) / (8 x 10^2)
To divide, we divide the two numbers and subtract the exponents: (3.2 / 8) x 10^(4-2) = 0.4 x 10^2 = 4 x 10^1

2. (5 x 10^6) / (2 x 10^3)
Dividing the numbers and subtracting the exponents: (5 / 2) x 10^(6-3) = 2.5 x 10^3

3. (9 x 10^8) / (3 x 10^4)
Dividing the numbers and subtracting the exponents: (9 / 3) x 10^(8-4) = 3 x 10^4

Remember to perform the division with the numbers first, then subtract the exponents to simplify the result.
