An online data storage facility 1.326 x 10^13 bytes of storage available. It has 2.6 x 10^4 customers. How many bytes of storage can each customer use? Write your answer in scientific Notation, expressed to the exact decimal place

Answer 1

To find out how many bytes of storage each customer can use, we divide the total storage available by the number of customers:

1.326 x 10^13 bytes ÷ 2.6 x 10^4 customers

To simplify the scientific notation, we divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

(1.326 ÷ 2.6) x 10^(13 - 4)

0.510 x 10^9

Therefore, each customer can use 5.10 x 10^8 bytes of storage.
