Question

(scientific notation) 1.082 x 10^8 / 1.496 X 10^8 = ???

Answer 1

To divide two numbers in scientific notation, you divide the coefficients (numbers in front) and subtract the exponents (powers of 10).

So, (1.082 x 10^8) / (1.496 x 10^8) = (1.082 / 1.496) x (10^8 / 10^8) = 0.722 x 1 = 0.722.

Therefore, 1.082 x 10^8 / 1.496 x 10^8 = 0.722.
