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.(1 point)
To find the number of bytes of storage each customer can use, divide the total available storage by the number of customers:
1.326×10^13 bytes / 2.6×10^4 customers = 5.1×10^8 bytes per customer
Therefore, each customer can use 5.1×10^8 bytes of storage.
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.
Total available storage = 1.326×10^13 bytes
Number of customers = 2.6×10^4
To divide these numbers, we subtract the exponents:
10^13 / 10^4 = 10^(13-4) = 10^9
We divide the coefficients as well:
1.326 / 2.6 = 0.50926
Putting it all together, each customer can use 5.0926×10^9 bytes of storage.
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.
Given:
Total storage available = 1.326×10^13 bytes
Number of customers = 2.6×10^4
To perform the division, we need to subtract the exponents of the scientific notations and divide the coefficients:
1.326×10^13 / 2.6×10^4
To divide the coefficients, we divide 1.326 by 2.6:
1.326 / 2.6 = 0.510
To subtract the exponents, we subtract 4 (10^4) from 13 (10^13):
10^(13-4) = 10^9
Therefore, the answer in scientific notation is:
5.10×10^9 bytes
