jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

why 10^10 ? when divide the same bases what you need to do with exponents ?

OpenStudy (kanard):

Im confused..

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

when multiplie you assume exponents so when divide what you make ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so the first part is right but the exponent of ten not is correct - how many will be than ?

OpenStudy (kanard):

Im really confused but I know the anwser

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Basically what Jhonny is saying is: When you multiply two numbers with the same base, you add the exponents. So when you divide two numbers with the same base, what do you do with the exponents?

OpenStudy (kanard):

You subtract both of them?

OpenStudy (kanard):

Which gives you 4 right? @jhonyy9

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes 7-3 = 4

OpenStudy (kanard):

Then you would simplify the two booth of the equations? And the one on the top comes to 28000000 and the bottom comes to 1400

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so the first one is 28*10^6 1400 = 14*10^2 ok.?

OpenStudy (kanard):

Divide the top by the bottom and you get 20000 and make it into SN form you get \[2.0 \times 10^{4}\]

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so than you wan simplifie this will get exactly correct sure

OpenStudy (kanard):

Thanks thesmartone. And Jhonyy could you help me with one more?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes but please rewrite in the openquestion column please

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok. ? and please tag me there

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

You could have done 2.8/1.4 = 2 10^7/10^3 = 10^4 And that gets 2 * 10^4

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so was my pleasure
