To find the amount of perfume in each container, we divide the total amount of perfume (10.5 gallons) by the number of containers (3.5 * 10^2).

10.5 gallons / (3.5 * 10^2) = 3 gallons

Therefore, the answer in scientific notation is 3 * 10^0 or just 3.

I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let's correct it.

To find the amount of perfume in each container, we divide the total amount of perfume (10.5 gallons) by the number of containers (3.5 * 10^2).

10.5 gallons / (3.5 * 10^2) = 0.03 gallons

Therefore, the answer in scientific notation is 3 * 10^(-2).
