divide 3.3×10 exponent 4 by 5.5× 10 exponent 7

Answer 1

To divide \( 3.3 \times 10^4 \) by \( 5.5 \times 10^7 \), you can follow these steps:

1. Divide the coefficients (the numbers in front) and the powers of ten separately.

   \[ \frac{3.3}{5.5} = 0.6 \]

   \[ \frac{10^4}{10^7} = 10^{4-7} = 10^{-3} \]

2. Combine the results from the coefficients and the powers of ten:

   \[ 0.6 \times 10^{-3} = 6.0 \times 10^{-4} \]

So, \( \frac{3.3 \times 10^4}{5.5 \times 10^7} = 6.0 \times 10^{-4} \).
