Solomon needs to distribute 10.5 gallons of perfume among 3.5 times 10^2 containers. How many gallons of perfume will be in each container? Write the answer in scientific notation.

Answer 1

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

10.5 gallons / (3.5 x 10^2 containers) = 3 gallons

Therefore, each container will have 3 gallons of perfume.

In scientific notation, this is 3 x 10^0 gallons.
