Question

Calculate the quotient below and give your answer in scientific notation. 0.00003 2 x 10-5

Answer 1

Answer:

$1.5\times 10^0$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to calculate $\frac{0.00003}{2\times 10^{-5}}$

Let us write the numerator in scientific form:

$\frac{3\times 10^{-5}}{2\times 10^{-5}}$

This reduces to $\frac{3}{2}=1.5$

Now we must leave our final answer in scientific form to get:

$1.5\times 10^0$
