Question

Simplify this expression and put your final answer in Scientific Notation:
(2.7x10^(5))/(3.2x10^(7))

Step 1: _ the coefficients. (Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide)

Step 2: _ to simplify the exponents. (Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide)

Step 3: _ to change into Scientific Notation. (Add to the exponent, Subtract from the exponent, Do not change the exponent)

Step 4: _ is the simplified answer. (0.844x10^2 , 0.844x10^-2 , 8.44x10^-3 , 8.44x10^12 , 8.44x10^-1)

Answer 1

Step 3 is wrong

Answer 2

Step 1: Divide the coefficients: 2.7 / 3.2 = 0.84375

Step 2: Subtract the exponents: 5 - 7 = -2

Step 3: Change into Scientific Notation: 0.84375 x 10^-2

Step 4: The simplified answer is 8.4375 x 10^-3 in Scientific Notation.

Answer 3

I apologize for the mistake. Let's correct Step 3.

Step 3: Since the division results in a number smaller than 1, we need to shift the decimal point to the left once. This means we should convert 0.84375 to 8.4375 and increase the exponent by 1.

So, in Scientific Notation, the final answer is 8.4375 x 10^-3.
