Question

(scientific notation) 1.082 x 10^8 / 1.496 X 10^8 = ???
i know theres probably no exponent, and i also rounded my answer to 1.4

Answer 1

To solve this scientific notation problem, you need to divide the values outside the exponents separately and subtract the exponents.

1.082 x 10^8 / 1.496 x 10^8

Dividing the values outside the exponents:
1.082 / 1.496 = 0.7228

Subtracting the exponents:
10^8 / 10^8 = 1

Combining the results:
0.7228 x 1 = 0.7228

So, the result without scientific notation is approximately 0.7228.

If you rounded your answer to 1.4, that may be due to a different method or rounding preference.
