In online data storage facility has 1.326x10^13 bytes of storage available. It has 2.6x10^4 customers. How many bytes of storage can each customer use? Write your answer in scientific notation, expressed to the exact decimal place.
To find the number of bytes of storage each customer can use, we need to divide the total amount of storage available by the number of customers.
1.326x10^13 bytes ÷ 2.6x10^4 customers = (1.326 ÷ 2.6) x (10^13 ÷ 10^4) = 0.509 x 10^9 = 5.09x10^8 bytes
Therefore, each customer can use 5.09x10^8 bytes of storage.
To find out how many bytes of storage each customer can use, we need to divide the total amount of storage available by the number of customers.
Total amount of storage available: 1.326x10^13 bytes
Number of customers: 2.6x10^4
To divide these numbers in scientific notation, we subtract the exponents and divide the coefficients.
(1.326x10^13) / (2.6x10^4)
First, divide the coefficients: (1.326 / 2.6) = 0.50923076923
Next, subtract the exponents: 10^13 ÷ 10^4 = 10^(13-4) = 10^9
Therefore, each customer can use 0.50923076923x10^9 bytes of storage.
To express this answer in scientific notation to the exact decimal place, we can round the coefficient to the desired decimal place, but keep the same exponent.
Rounding to two decimal places, the answer is approximately 0.51x10^9 bytes.
Note: In scientific notation, the coefficient is typically rounded to one or two decimal places, and the exponent remains the same for simplicity and consistency.
To find out how many bytes of storage each customer can use, we divide the total storage available by the number of customers:
Total storage available = 1.326 × 10^13 bytes
Number of customers = 2.6 × 10^4
Bytes of storage per customer = Total storage available / Number of customers
Plugging in the values:
Bytes of storage per customer = (1.326 × 10^13 bytes) / (2.6 × 10^4)
To divide numbers in scientific notation, we subtract the exponents and divide the coefficients:
Bytes of storage per customer = (1.326 / 2.6) × (10^13 / 10^4)
= 0.510 × 10^9
= 5.10 × 10^8 bytes
Therefore, each customer can use 5.10 × 10^8 bytes of storage.
