what is the value of the expression 3.6x10^8/1.2x10^3 will give medal my answer is 2.4x10^5

OpenStudy (hollowdensity):

u first need to simplify the factors that have some common base and a exponent. so bring the 10^3 to top

OpenStudy (hollowdensity):

it will make its value 10^-3

OpenStudy (aglna):

So would it be 3.0x 10^5

OpenStudy (hollowdensity):

when two numbers are being multiplied and base is same, the exponents are added or subtracted

OpenStudy (hollowdensity):

yeah, thats correct

OpenStudy (hollowdensity):

because then u just had to divide the other two factor. 1.2 goes to 3.6, 3 times
