Question

2.388 x 10^9 km divided by 2.28 x 10^8 km

Answer 1

To divide these two numbers written in scientific notation, we can divide the decimal parts and subtract the exponents.

(2.388 x 10^9 km) ÷ (2.28 x 10^8 km)

First, divide the decimal parts:

2.388 ÷ 2.28 ≈ 1.046

Then, subtract the exponents:

10^9 km ÷ 10^8 km = 10^(9-8) km = 10^1 km

Combining the results, we get:

1.046 x 10^1 km
