Expressing the given equation as a power of 10 with the divisor expressed as an whole number can be written as [tex] \frac{42.66 \times 10^{2}}{297}[/tex]

Given the expression :

  • 42.66/2.97

Expressing the numbers as a power of 10 :

  • Dividend = 42.66
  • Divisor = 2.97

To convert the divisor to a whole number :

Multiply both by 100

  • Dividend = 42.66 × 100
  • Divisor = 2.97 × 100 = 297

Expressing dividend as a power of 10 :

  • Dividend = 42.66 × 100 = 42.66 × 10²

Hence, the equivalent equation would be : [tex] \frac{42.66 \times 10^{2}}{297}[/tex]
