To find how many gallons of perfume will be in each container, we need to divide the total gallons of perfume by the number of containers.
The total gallons of perfume is 10.5.
The number of containers is 3.5 × 10^2.
So, to find the amount in each container, we divide 10.5 by 3.5 × 10^2.
10.5 ÷ 3.5 × 10^2 can be simplified to 3 × 10^0, which can be further simplified to just 3.
Therefore, the answer is 3 x 10^0.
However, we need to write the answer in scientific notation. In scientific notation, the number should be between 1 and 10 and the exponent should tell us how many places to move the decimal point.
So, we can rewrite 3 x 10^0 as 3 x 10^1 x 10^-1. Moving the decimal point one place to the left gives us 0.3.
Therefore, the answer in scientific notation is 0.3 x 10^-1.
Therefore, the correct answer is 0.35 x 10^-1.
Division: Solomon needs to distribute 10.5 gallons of perfume among 3.5×10^2 containers. How many gallons of perfume will be in each container? Write the answer in scientific notation.
