Question

What is the quotient of 1.728 x 109 and 4.8 x 106 expressed in scientific notation?

Answer 1

Answer:

3.7018867924 × $10^{-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to find what these two numbers are, then you divide, then you put that answer in scientific notation.

1.728(109) = 188.352

4.8(106) = 508.80

Now we divide :

188.352 ÷ 508.80 = 0.37018867924

That's a crazy decimal, but luckily because of scientific notation we can make it look a lot simpler.

0.37018867924 =  3.7018867924 × $10^{-1}$

This should be right. Please comment if you are confused and want more detail.
