An online data storage facility has 1.326×10^13 bytes of storage available. It has 2.6×10^4 customers. How many bytes of storage can each customer use? Write your answer in scientific notation, expressed to the exact decimal place.
To find out how many bytes of storage each customer can use, we need to divide the total available storage by the number of customers.
1.326×10^13 bytes ÷ 2.6×10^4 customers
To divide numbers in scientific notation, we need to divide their coefficients and subtract their exponents:
1.326 ÷ 2.6 = 0.510
10^13 ÷ 10^4 = 10^9
So, each customer can use 0.510 × 10^9 bytes of storage.
In scientific notation, expressed to the exact decimal place, this is 5.1 × 10^8 bytes.
To find out how many bytes of storage each customer can use, we need to divide the total storage available by the number of customers.
1.326×10^13 bytes ÷ 2.6×10^4 customers
To divide numbers in scientific notation, we can divide their coefficients and subtract their exponents.
(1.326 ÷ 2.6) × 10^(13 - 4)
= 0.510 × 10^9
Expressing the answer in scientific notation, we have:
5.10 × 10^8 bytes
Therefore, each customer can use 5.10 × 10^8 bytes of storage.
To find the number of bytes of storage that each customer can use, we need to divide the total available storage by the number of customers.
The total available storage is given as 1.326×10^13 bytes.
The number of customers is given as 2.6×10^4.
To divide the total storage by the number of customers, we can simply divide the coefficients (1.326 ÷ 2.6) and subtract the exponents (10^13 ÷ 10^4).
1.326 ÷ 2.6 = 0.5107692308 (approximately)
10^13 ÷ 10^4 = 10^(13-4) = 10^9
Bringing it all together, the number of bytes of storage that each customer can use is approximately 0.5107692308 × 10^9, which can be written in scientific notation as 5.107692308 × 10^8.
