whats 3.2x10^4 divided by 4.82x10^12? show your work and answer in scientific notation

Answer 1

To divide two numbers in scientific notation, first divide the coefficients and then subtract the exponents of the powers of 10.

(3.2 x 10^4) / (4.82 x 10^12) = (3.2 / 4.82) x (10^4 / 10^12)

Calculating the coefficient: 3.2 / 4.82 ≈ 0.664

Calculating the exponent: 10^4 / 10^12 = 10^(4-12) = 10^(-8)

Therefore, the answer is approximately 0.664 x 10^(-8) in scientific notation.
