To find out how many gallons of perfume will be in each container, we will divide the total amount of perfume by the number of containers.
Given:
- Total perfume = \( 10.5 \) gallons
- Number of containers = \( 3.5 \times 10^2 \)
We perform the calculation as follows:
\[ \text{Gallons per container} = \frac{10.5}{3.5 \times 10^2} \]
To simplify \( \frac{10.5}{3.5} \): \[ \frac{10.5}{3.5} = 3 \]
Now to calculate: \[ \text{Gallons per container} = \frac{3}{10^2} = 3 \times 10^{-2} \]
So, the number of gallons of perfume in each container is:
\[ 3 \times 10^{-2} \]
Thus, the correct response is:
3×10−2 (3 times 10 to the negative 2)
