Step 4: 0.844 x 10^2, 0.844 x 10^-2, 8.44 x 10^-3, 8.44 x 10^12, 8.44 x 10^-1

Answer 1

sorry, but 0.84375 x 10^-2 = 8.4375 x 10^-3

Answer 2

Step 1: Divide the coefficients. (2.7 / 3.2) = 0.84375
Step 2: Subtract the exponents. (5 - 7) = -2
Step 3: Do not change the exponent.
Step 4: 0.84375 x 10^-2

Final answer: 8.4375 x 10^-1

Answer 3

Apologies for the error. You are correct. The correct answer is:

8.4375 x 10^-3 in Scientific Notation. Thank you for pointing that out!
