Solomon needs to distribute 10.5 gallons of perfume among 3.5 * 10 ^ 2 containers how many gallons of perfume will be in each container write the answer in scientific notation
To find out how many gallons of perfume will be in each container, we need to divide the total amount of perfume (10.5 gallons) by the number of containers (3.5 * 10^2).
So, the division would be:
10.5 gallons / (3.5 * 10^2 containers)
To perform this division and express the answer in scientific notation, we divide the numbers and add the exponents together:
= 10.5 / 3.5 * 10^2 gallons/containerglo
= 3 gallons/container
Therefore, there will be 3 gallons of perfume in each container.
To find out how many gallons of perfume will be in each container, we need to divide the total amount of perfume (10.5 gallons) by the number of containers (3.5 * 10^2).
First, let's convert 3.5 * 10^2 to standard form:
3.5 * 10^2 = 3.5 * 100 = 350
Now we can divide the total amount of perfume by the number of containers:
10.5 gallons / 350 containers = 0.03 gallons/container
To write the answer in scientific notation, we can express 0.03 as 3 * 10^(-2) since we move the decimal point two places to the right.
Therefore, there will be 3 * 10^(-2) gallons of perfume in each container.
To find out how many gallons of perfume will be in each container, we need to divide the total amount of perfume by the number of containers.
First, let's convert 3.5 * 10^2 containers to numerical form:
3.5 * 10^2 = 3.5 * 100 = 350 containers
Now, we divide the total amount of perfume (10.5 gallons) by the number of containers (350):
10.5 gallons ÷ 350 containers = 0.03 gallons/container
Since the question asks for the answer in scientific notation, we can write 0.03 as 3 * 10^-2.
Hence, there will be 3 * 10^-2 gallons of perfume in each container.
