1 answer

To divide two numbers in scientific notation, you divide the base numbers and subtract the exponents.

First, divide 3.3 by 5.5: 3.3 / 5.5 = 0.6

Next, subtract the exponents: 4 - 7 = -3

So the result is 0.6 * 10^-3, which can be written as 6 * 10^-4.

Therefore, the correct answer is 6*10^-4.
