Answer 1

To divide \( 6.1 \times 10^{20} \) by \( 3.2 \times 10^{5} \) and express your answer in scientific notation, follow these steps:

Step 1: Divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents.

1. Divide the coefficients: \[ \frac{6.1}{3.2} \approx 1.90625 \text{ (This rounds to 1.91 for scientific notation)} \]

2. Subtract the exponents: \[ 20 - 5 = 15 \]

Step 2: Combine your results.

After completing Step 1, you can write it as: \[ 1.91 \times 10^{15} \]

Step 3: Ensure your answer is in scientific notation.

Your final answer is already in proper scientific notation, expressing the result of the division: \[ \text{Final answer: } 1.91 \times 10^{15} \]

Summary of Results:

• Step 1 Results:

  • Divide coefficients: \( 1.91 \)
  • Subtract exponents: \( 15 \)

• Final Answer:

  • \( 1.91 \times 10^{15} \)
