To distribute 10.5 gallons of perfume into \(3.5 \times 10^2\) containers, we need to divide the total gallons by the number of containers.
1. Calculate the number of containers:
\[
3.5 \times 10^2 = 3.5 \times 100 = 350 \text{ containers}
\]
2. Divide the total amount of perfume by the number of containers:
\[
\text{Perfume per container} = \frac{10.5 \text{ gallons}}{350 \text{ containers}} = 0.03 \text{ gallons per container}
\]
3. Convert \(0.03\) to scientific notation:
\[
0.03 = 3 \times 10^{-2}
\]
Thus, the answer is \(\mathbf{3 \times 10^{-2}}\).
