To divide the two numbers in scientific notation, you can divide the coefficients (2.7 by 3.2) and then subtract the exponents (5 - 7).
First, divide the coefficients: 2.7 ÷ 3.2 ≈ 0.84375.
Next, subtract the exponents: 5 - 7 = -2.
Therefore, the result is approximately 0.84375 x 10^(-2) or 8.4375 x 10^(-3).
