To find out how many gallons of perfume will be in each container, we can divide the total amount of perfume by the number of containers.
10.5 gallons / (3.5 × 10^2) containers
To simplify this expression, we can divide 10.5 by 3.5:
10.5 / 3.5 = 3
Now, we need to express this answer in scientific notation. Since 3 is already in the correct format, we add the 'x 10^2' to indicate the number of containers:
3 x 10^2
Therefore, the correct answer is option 1: 3 x 10^2.
