To solve the problem of distributing 10.5 gallons of perfume among \( 3.5 \times 10^2 \) containers, you need to perform division. Specifically, you would divide the total amount of perfume, 10.5 gallons, by the number of containers, \( 3.5 \times 10^2 \) (which is 350 when calculated).
The mathematical operation can be expressed as follows:
\[
\text{Amount of perfume per container} = \frac{10.5 \text{ gallons}}{3.5 \times 10^2 \text{ containers}}
\]
Calculating it:
\[
\frac{10.5}{350} = 0.03 \text{ gallons per container}
\]
Thus, the operation needed is division.
