7
and 7, point, 0, times, 10, to the power 47.0×10
4
expressed in scientific notation?

1 answer

To express the given quotient in scientific notation, we start by finding the quotient of 9.8 times 10^79.8 divided by 7.0 times 10^47.0.

9.8 times 10^79.8 divided by 7.0 times 10^47.0 is equal to (9.8/7.0) times (10^79.8/10^47.0).

The quotient of 9.8 divided by 7.0 is approximately 1.4, while the quotient of 10^79.8 divided by 10^47.0 is equal to 10^(79.8-47.0) or 10^32.8.

Multiplying these two quotients together, we get 1.4 times 10^32.8.

Therefore, the quotient 9.8 times 10^79.8×10^7 divided by 7.0 times 10^47.0×10^4 expressed in scientific notation is approximately 1.4 times 10^32.8.
