To divide the two scientific notations, we first divide the coefficients and then subtract the exponents.
The coefficient of the first scientific notation is 9, and the coefficient of the second scientific notation is 10. Dividing 9 by 10 gives us 0.9.
The exponent of the first scientific notation is 5, and the exponent of the second scientific notation is 3. Subtracting 3 from 5 gives us 2.
Therefore, the quotient of the two scientific notations is 0.9 x 10^2.
Written in scientific notation form, the answer is 9 x 10^1 or 90.
Use division to find the quotient of the two following scientific notations. Your answer should be written in scientific notation form.
