Simplify this expression and put your final answer in Scientific Notation:
2.7×10^5/3.2×10^7
(4 points)
Step 1:
______ the coefficients.
Step 2:
______ to simplify the exponents.
Step 3:
______ to change into Scientific Notation.
Step 4:
______ is the simplified answer.
Step 1: Divide the coefficients.
2.7 / 3.2 = 0.84375
Step 2: Subtract the exponents.
5 - 7 = -2
Step 3: Write the answer in Scientific Notation.
0.84375 x 10^-2
Step 4: The simplified answer is 8.4375 x 10^-3.
Step 3 and step 4 are incorrect
I apologize for the mistake. Let's correct those steps.
Step 3: Divide 2.7 by 3.2 to get 0.84375. The exponent should be 5 - 7 = -2.
Step 4: 0.84375 x 10^-2 = 8.4375 x 10^-3
Therefore, the correct simplified answer in Scientific Notation is 8.4375 x 10^-3.
That's still incorrect, the answer choices for step 3 are: 1. Add to the exponent 2. Subtract from the exponent 3. Do not change the exponent.
Apologies for the oversight. Let's correct the steps:
Step 1: Divide the coefficients: 2.7 / 3.2 = 0.84375
Step 2: Subtract the exponents: 5 - 7 = -2
Step 3: Do not change the exponent.
Step 4: Write the answer in Scientific Notation.
0.84375 x 10^-2 = 8.4375 x 10^-3
The correct simplified answer in Scientific Notation is 8.4375 x 10^-3.
