To divide the two numbers in scientific notation, you can divide the coefficients (the numbers in front) and then subtract the exponents of the powers of ten.
Given:
\[
\frac{8.855 \times 10^7}{9.3 \times 10^7}
\]
1. **Divide the coefficients:**
\[
\frac{8.855}{9.3} \approx 0.952
\]
2. **Subtract the exponents:**
Since both terms have the same exponent (7), you subtract as follows:
\[
10^{7-7} = 10^0 = 1
\]
3. **Combine the results:**
\[
0.952 \times 10^0 = 0.952
\]
So,
\[
\frac{8.855 \times 10^7}{9.3 \times 10^7} \approx 0.952
\]
