Find the quotient. Write your answer in scientific notation, (3.6 x 10 to the power of 7) divided by (7.2 times 10 to the 7)

Respuesta :

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].
