(scientific notation) 1.082 x 10^8 / 1.496 X 10^8 = ???
i know theres probably no exponent, and i also rounded my answer to 1.4
To solve this scientific notation problem, you need to divide the values outside the exponents separately and subtract the exponents.
1.082 x 10^8 / 1.496 x 10^8
Dividing the values outside the exponents:
1.082 / 1.496 = 0.7228
Subtracting the exponents:
10^8 / 10^8 = 1
Combining the results:
0.7228 x 1 = 0.7228
So, the result without scientific notation is approximately 0.7228.
If you rounded your answer to 1.4, that may be due to a different method or rounding preference.
To solve this problem involving scientific notation, you can use the following steps:
Step 1: Divide the two numbers separately, disregarding the exponents.
1.082 / 1.496 = 0.723
Step 2: Multiply the exponent of the divisor (10^8) by the result obtained in Step 1.
8 + (-8) = 0
Step 3: Express the result from Step 2 in scientific notation.
0.723 x 10^0 = 0.723
Therefore, the result of the given division (1.082 x 10^8 / 1.496 x 10^8) is approximately 0.723.
To perform the division using scientific notation, you need to divide the numbers and subtract the exponents.
1.082 x 10^8 / 1.496 x 10^8
First, divide the numbers:
1.082 / 1.496 = 0.7222 (rounded to four decimal places)
Next, subtract the exponents:
10^8 / 10^8 = 1
So, the final answer can be written in scientific notation as:
0.7222 x 10^1
Rounded to one significant figure and exponent simplified:
≈ 0.7 x 10^1
Note: Your rounded answer of 1.4 is not accurate in this case.
