Question

Find the quotient of 4.13 × 10-8 and 0.04 × 105

Answer 1

to find the quotient of two numbers, divide the two numbers (order matters in division. by convention, quotient implies you divide the first number by the second)

so, we have:

\[\frac{ 4.13*10^{-8} }{ 0.04*10^{5} }\]
now, dividing 4.13 / 0.04 is as simple as punching the numbers into a calculator. to divide 10^(-8) / 10^5, apply your exponent rules.

finally, it's not explicitly stated, but it's good form to return your answers in scientific notation since the original numbers are in scientific notation.
