is you have:
8x10 to the 5th power
over
2x10 to the -3rd power
is the answer 4x10 to the 8th?
yes, correct.
I have a question what is 8 times 10 to the power of 5
To calculate the division of numbers in scientific notation, you need to remember a rule: divide the two numbers and subtract the exponent of the second number from the exponent of the first number.
In this case, you have 8x10^5 divided by 2x10^-3.
First, let's divide the two numbers: 8 ÷ 2 = 4.
Next, we subtract the exponent of the second number from the exponent of the first number: (10^5) - (-3) = 10^5 + 3 = 10^8.
So, the answer in scientific notation is 4x10^8, not 4x10^8th.
