Question

Divide 3.3×10^4 by 5.5×10^7
.(1 point)

Answer 1

To divide \( 3.3 \times 10^4 \) by \( 5.5 \times 10^7 \), you can separately divide the coefficients and the powers of ten.

1. Divide the coefficients:
\[
\frac{3.3}{5.5} = 0.6
\]

2. Divide the powers of ten:
\[
\frac{10^4}{10^7} = 10^{4-7} = 10^{-3}
\]

3. Combine the results:
\[
0.6 \times 10^{-3}
\]

This can also be expressed in scientific notation as:
\[
6.0 \times 10^{-4}
\]

Thus, the final result is:
\[
\boxed{6.0 \times 10^{-4}}
\]
