2.279 × 10v8 divided by 5.79 × 10v7 show your work

1 answer

To divide the given values in scientific notation, we can use the following formula:

(a × 10^m) ÷ (b × 10^n) = (a ÷ b) × 10^(m - n)

In this case, we have:

(2.279 × 10^8) ÷ (5.79 × 10^7)

Using the formula, we divide the numbers and subtract the exponents:

= (2.279 ÷ 5.79) × 10^(8 - 7)
= 0.3939 × 10^1
= 3.939 × 10

Therefore, the answer is 3.939 × 10.
