To divide two numbers in scientific notation, you divide their coefficients and subtract their exponents.
For this problem, we have 3.3 × 10^4 divided by 5.5 × 10^7.
The coefficient 3.3 divided by 5.5 is approximately 0.6.
The exponent for 10 is obtained by subtracting the exponent of the divisor (10^7) from the exponent of the dividend (10^4).
So, 10^4 divided by 10^7 is 10^(4-7) = 10^-3.
Therefore, the final answer is 0.6 × 10^-3, or simply 6 × 10^-4.
Therefore, the correct answer is 6 × 10^-4.
