Question

Simplify 7.2x10^3/1.8x10^7

Answer 1

To simplify and solve this equation we must follow PEMDAS.

P=Parentheses

E=Exponents

M=Multiplication (from left to right)

D=Division (from left to right)

A=Addition

S=Substraction

We begin the process.

10^3=1000

10^7=10000000

New equation looks like this:

7.2*1000/1.8*10000000

We then multiply

7.2*1000= 7200

7200/1.8=4000

4000*10000000= 40000000000

So our final answer is 40000000000.

Hope this helps!

P.S. I forgot this was scientific notation and I solved it a different way. But both ways give the same answer. Let me know if you want the other method.
