simplify the expression and gives steps on how you did it

Question

2.7x10^5/3.2x10^7

Answer 1

To simplify the expression, we will first divide the coefficients and then divide the powers of 10.

1. Divide the coefficients:
2.7 / 3.2 = 0.84375

2. Divide the powers of 10:
10^5 / 10^7 = 10^(5-7) = 10^(-2) = 1/100 = 0.01

3. Combine the results from step 1 and step 2:
0.84375 * 0.01 = 0.0084375

Therefore, 2.7x10^5 / 3.2x10^7 simplifies to 0.0084375.
