Please Compute
1.2 X 10^-3
-----------
6.0 X 10^-8
do it in parts:
1.2/6.0 * 10-3+8
or .20*105
check my thinking.
I get 20,000 because you move the decimals back from where they are
so yes i get that but they want it computed so I guess it would be 20,000 correct?
Yes, the answer is correct.
Bob wants to make sure you know what you're doing so you can tackle questions during exams.
Thank you again!
To compute the expression (1.2 x 10^-3) / (6.0 x 10^-8), follow these steps:
Step 1: Multiply the two decimal numbers together: 1.2 x 6.0 = 7.2
Step 2: Multiply the powers of 10 together: 10^-3 x 10^-8 = 10^(-3-8) = 10^-11
Step 3: Combine the results from step 1 and step 2: 7.2 x 10^-11.
Therefore, the calculated result is 7.2 x 10^-11.
