To divide (8*10^5) by (20*10^7), we can simplify the expression by dividing the numerical coefficients and subtracting the exponents of 10:
(8*10^5) / (20*10^7) = (8/20) * (10^5 / 10^7) = 0.4 * 10^(5-7)
Simplifying further, 0.4 is equivalent to 4/10 or 2/5, and 5 - 7 is -2:
(8*10^5) / (20*10^7) = (2/5) * 10^-2
Therefore, the answer is (2/5) x 10^-2 in scientific notation.
Divide and write your answer in scientific notation. Be sure to write your answer with the multiplication ‘x’
