To divide numbers written in scientific notation, we divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents.
So, by dividing 3.3 by 5.5, we get 0.6.
And by subtracting the exponent 10⁴ from 10⁷, we get 10⁷ - 10⁴ = 10³.
Therefore, 3.3 × 10⁴ ÷ 5.5 × 10⁷ = 0.6 × 10³, or 0.6 × 1000.
So, the answer is 600.
Divide 3.3 × 10⁴ by 5.5 × 10⁷.
