Answer 6

Show me the steps you went thru to obtain your final answer.

Answer 7

3.276(105)(400);
0/3.9(106)
= 131040000

Answer 8

I converted 131040000 into a scientific notation.

Answer 9

And then I got 1.3104 x 10^9

Answer 10

I propose you do the problem this way: separate the numerical values from the powers of 10.

(3.276×10^5)×400,000÷(3.9×10^6) would translate to

(3.276)(400000) (10^5)
----------------------
(3.9) (10^6)

and the 400000 could be re-written as 4*10^5.

Evaluate

(3.276) (4)
--------- * (10^5) (10^5)
3.9 ------------
10^6

Answer 11
