Question

What is the quotient of 6.118\times 10^86.118×10

8
and 8.05 \times 10^58.05×10
5
expressed in scientific notation?

Answer 1

7.6 x 10²

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the quotient in scientific notation

`(6.118* \:10^8)/(8.05\:* 10^5)`

`6.118 * 10^8 =61.18 * 10^7\\`

Therefore

`(6.118* \:10^8)/(8.05\:* 10^5) = (61.18* \:10^7)/(8.05\:* 10^5)`

`(61.18)/(8.05) = 7.6\\\\(10^7)/(10^5) = 10^(7-5) = 10^2\\\\`

`(6.118* \:10^8)/(8.05\:* 10^5) = 7.6 * 10^2`
