Answer 1

To divide the two numbers in scientific notation, we can follow these steps:

1. **Divide the coefficients**: Divide \(6.3\) by \(3\).
2. **Subtract the exponents**: Subtract the exponent of the denominator from the exponent of the numerator.

Let's perform these steps:

1. **Divide the coefficients**:
\[
\frac{6.3}{3} = 2.1
\]

2. **Subtract the exponents**:
\[
-4 - (-3) = -4 + 3 = -1
\]

Now, we can express the results in scientific notation:
\[
2.1 \times 10^{-1}
\]

Thus, the answer in scientific notation is:
\[
\boxed{2.1 \times 10^{-1}}
\]
