Answer:
a) 1.59967 * 10 ^-12
b) 7.52711497
c) 1.590778098 * 10^-1
Step-by-step explanation:
a= 3.47 x 10^-6,
b=4.61 x 10^-7,
c=5.52 x 10^-7
a) a*b = 3.47 x 10^-6* 4.61 x 10^-7
We multiply the numbers out front and add the exponents
(3.47*4.61) * 10^(-6+-7)
15.9967 * 10^-13
But this is not correct scientific notation, we need 1 number in front of the decimal. Move the decimal 1 place to the left and add 1 to the exponent
1.59967 * 10^(-13+1)
1.59967 * 10 ^-12
b) a/b = 3.47 x 10^-6/ 4.61 x 10^-7
We divide the numbers out front and subtract the exponents
(3.47/4.61) * 10^(-6- -7)
(3.47/4.61) * 10^(-6+7)
.752711497* 10^1
But this is not correct scientific notation, we need 1 number in front of the decimal. Move the decimal 1 place to the right and subtract 1 from the exponent
7.52711497* 10^1-1
7.52711497
c) c/a = 5.52 x 10^-7/3.47 x 10^-6
We divide the numbers out front and subtract the exponents
(5.52/3.47) * 10^(-7- -6)
(5.52/3.47) * 10^(-7+6)
1.590778098 * 10^-1
