Question

What is (2.3x10^-3)/(4.6x10^-7) written in scientific notation? Please show how you solved this.

Answer 1

(2.3*10^-3) / (4.6*10^-7)

(2.3*0.001) / (4.6*0.0000001)  *10^-3=0.001 & 10^-7=0.0000001*

(0.0023) / (0.00000046)   *2.3*0.001=0.0023 & 4.6*0.0000001=0.00000046*

5000  *0.0023/0.00000046*

So the answer is 5000
