Solomon needs to distribute 10.5 gallons of perfume among 3.5 × 10² containers. How many gallons of perfume will be in each container? Write the answer in scientific notation.

Answer 1

To find the amount of perfume in each container, we need to divide the total amount of perfume by the number of containers.

10.5 gallons / (3.5 × 10² containers) = 3 gallons/ container

The answer in scientific notation is 3 × 10^0 gallons/ container.
