Divide 3.3×10^4 by 5.5×10^7 .

1 answer

To divide \( 3.3 \times 10^4 \) by \( 5.5 \times 10^7 \), you can follow these steps:

  1. Divide the coefficient (the numbers in front): \[ \frac{3.3}{5.5} = 0.6 \]

  2. Subtract the exponents of 10: \[ 10^{4 - 7} = 10^{-3} \]

  3. Combine the results: \[ 0.6 \times 10^{-3} \]

  4. To express it in standard scientific notation, you can write: \[ 6.0 \times 10^{-4} \]

Thus, the result of dividing \( 3.3 \times 10^4 \) by \( 5.5 \times 10^7 \) is: \[ 6.0 \times 10^{-4} \]
