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 (1 point)

Answer 1

To find out how many gallons of perfume will be in each container, we need to divide the total amount of perfume by the number of containers.

Total gallons of perfume = 10.5
Number of containers = 3.5 * 10^2

Dividing these two numbers, we get:

10.5 / (3.5 * 10^2)

To simplify this, we divide the decimal part first:

10.5 / 3.5 = 3

Then we divide the powers of 10:

10^2 / 10^2 = 1

So, the answer is 3 * 1 = 3.

Therefore, there will be 3 gallons of perfume in each container.

Written in scientific notation, this would be 3 * 10^0 gallons of perfume in each container.
