Question

Scientific notation:
4.6 x 10^-7/9.2 x 10^-9
If there's work to be shown, please show b/c that would help. :)

Answer 1

first divide 4.6 bu 9.2 = 0.5
and 10^-7 / 10^-9 = 10 ^2

so quotient = 0.5 * 10^2
in scientific notation this is 5 * 10^1 or 5 * 10

scientific notation must be of the form n.nnn.. * 10^n

Answer 2

ok with that?

Answer 3

So the answer is 5 x 10? or .5 x 10^2?

Answer 4

no the answer is 5 * 10 .
0.5* 10^2 is not scientific notation
