Given:
The given expression is:
[tex]\dfrac{3.6\times 10^7}{7.2\times 10^7}[/tex]
To find:
The value of the quotient.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]\dfrac{3.6\times 10^7}{7.2\times 10^7}[/tex]
It can written as:
[tex]=\dfrac{3.6}{7.2}\times \dfrac{10^7}{10^7}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1[/tex]
[tex]=0.5[/tex]
It can be rewritten as:
[tex]=5\times \dfrac{1}{10}[/tex]
[tex]=5\times 10^{-1}[/tex]
Therefore, the value of the quotient is [tex]5\times 10^{-1}[/tex].
