Question

How is multiplying and dividing numbers in scientific notation different from adding and subtracting numbers in scientific notation ?

Answer 1

Answer:

multiple and divide are depending on the powers ( sometimes the numbers before the scientific n.)

If the power neg- , it's going down

like this 10^-5 = 1/10^5

If the power pos+ , it's the same idea but different in signs .

Adding and subtracting are depending on numbers ( If the scientific n. is the same number) .

for example:

3x10^5 + 4x10^5 = (3+4)x10^5 = 7x10^5
