divide 3.3x10^4 by 5.5x10^7
To divide numbers written in scientific notation, you can divide the two numerical parts and subtract the exponents.
7/4 = 1.75
(10^4) / (10^7) = 10^(4-7) = 10^(-3)
Therefore, 3.3x10^4 divided by 5.5x10^7 is equal to 1.75x10^(-3).
To divide two numbers in scientific notation, follow these steps:
1. Divide the base numbers (3.3 ÷ 5.5).
2. Divide the exponent of the divisor from the exponent of the dividend (10^4 ÷ 10^7).
3. Simplify the result by adjusting the decimal point and the exponent.
Let's apply these steps to divide 3.3x10^4 by 5.5x10^7:
1. Divide the base numbers: 3.3 ÷ 5.5 = 0.6.
2. Divide the exponents: 10^4 ÷ 10^7 = 10^(4-7) = 10^-3.
3. Combine the base and exponent: 0.6 x 10^-3.
The final result is 0.6x10^-3 in scientific notation.
To divide 3.3x10^4 by 5.5x10^7, follow these steps:
Step 1: Divide the coefficients (numbers in front of the powers of 10):
3.3 ÷ 5.5 = 0.6
Step 2: Divide the exponents of 10 (subtract the exponents):
10^4 ÷ 10^7 = 10^(4-7) = 10^(-3)
Step 3: Combine the coefficient and exponent of 10:
0.6 × 10^(-3)
Therefore, 3.3x10^4 divided by 5.5x10^7 is equal to 0.6x10^(-3).
