Divide 3.3 * 10 ^ 4 / 5.5 * 10 ^ 7
To divide numbers expressed in scientific notation, we need to divide their coefficients and subtract their exponents.
First, let's divide the coefficients: 3.3/5.5 = 0.6.
Next, subtract the exponents: 10^4 / 10^7 = 10^(4-7) = 10^-3.
Therefore, 3.3 * 10^4 / 5.5 * 10^7 = 0.6 * 10^-3.
In scientific notation, this can be written as 6.0 * 10^-4.
To divide numbers in scientific notation, we can divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents.
Step 1: Divide the coefficients: 3.3 / 5.5 = 0.6.
Step 2: Subtract the exponents: 10^4 - 10^7 = 10^(-3) because when you divide the larger exponent by the smaller exponent, you get a negative exponent.
The final result is 0.6 * 10^(-3), which can be written as 0.0006 in standard decimal notation.
To divide the numbers in scientific notation, we can divide the two values separately and then simplify the result. Let's break it down step by step:
Step 1: Divide the coefficients (numbers without exponents).
Divide 3.3 by 5.5: 3.3 / 5.5 = 0.6
Step 2: Divide the exponents (the powers of 10).
Subtract the exponent of 10 in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator: 4 - 7 = -3.
Step 3: Combine the coefficient and the exponent.
The final result is 0.6 * 10^-3.
In decimal form, this can be written as 0.0006.
