Question

Divide write your answer in scientific notation
7.6x10^9/7.6x10^1

Answer 1

To divide \( 7.6 \times 10^9 \) by \( 7.6 \times 10^1 \), you can separate the coefficients and the powers of ten.

1. Divide the coefficients:
\[
\frac{7.6}{7.6} = 1
\]

2. Subtract the exponents of the powers of ten:
\[
10^{9 - 1} = 10^8
\]

Now, combine the results:
\[
1 \times 10^8 = 10^8
\]

So, \( \frac{7.6 \times 10^9}{7.6 \times 10^1} = 10^8 \).

The final answer in scientific notation is:
\[
1.0 \times 10^8
\]
