Calculate the following, expressing the answer in scientific notation with the correct number of significant figures: (8.86 + 1.0 * 10^-3) / 3.610 * 10^-3

please help me write out the equation and fill in the appropriate data

thanks for your help Jiskha

It's because a number of people use Jiskha from our house....

Calculate the following, expressing the answer in scientific notation with the correct number of significant figures: (8.86 + 1.0  103)  3.610  103

To solve this equation and express the answer in scientific notation with the correct number of significant figures, you'll need to follow these steps:

1. Perform the addition: 8.86 + 1.0 * 10^-3 = 8.861 * 10^0.
2. Perform the division: 8.861 * 10^0 / 3.610 * 10^-3 = (8.861 / 3.610) * (10^0 / 10^-3) = 2.447 * 10^3 * 10^3 = 2.447 * 10^6.

The final answer, expressed in scientific notation with the correct number of significant figures, is 2.447 * 10^6.

I've noticed too many questions coming from your network...

first try working the equation out yourself, instead of asking others to do all the work
