Question

Find the quotient of 4.13 × 10^-8 and 0.04 × 10^5. In two or more complete sentences, explain each step in your calculations. Include the quotient as part of your final answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0001652

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first expression, you move the decimal point to the right 8 times, due to the negative exponent, giving you 0.0000000413. The second expression requires you to move the decimal point to the left 5 times, because of the positve exponent, giving you 4000. You then divide these products, giving you the very small number of 1.0325e-11, or 0.000000000010325.
