1 answer

To divide (3 x 10^4) by (12 x 10^12), we divide the numerical parts (3/12) and subtract the exponents (10^4 - 10^12) to express the answer in scientific notation.

The numerical part is 3 divided by 12, which is 0.25.

The exponent part is 10^4 divided by 10^12. To divide, we subtract the exponents: 4 - 12 = -8.

Therefore, the answer in scientific notation is 0.25 x 10^-8.
