To find the number of gallons of perfume in each container, we need to 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 × (10.5 ÷ 3.5) × 10^(2 - 2) = 3 × (3) × 10^0 = 9 gallons
Therefore, the answer is 3 × 10^0, which in scientific notation is 3.
