Q. What is the quotient of 1.501×107 1.501 \times 10^{7} and 3.95×104 3.95 \times 10^{4} expressed in scientific notation?\newlineAnswer: ×10 \square \times 10^{\square}
  1. Understand the problem: Understand the problem.\newlineWe need to divide two numbers given in scientific notation and express the result in scientific notation as well.
  2. Write down the numbers: Write down the numbers to be divided. 1.501×107÷3.95×1041.501 \times 10^7 \div 3.95 \times 10^4
  3. Divide the coefficients: Divide the coefficients (the numbers in front of the powers of 1010). 1.501÷3.951.501 \div 3.95
  4. Calculate the division: Calculate the division of the coefficients. 1.501÷3.950.3801.501 \div 3.95 \approx 0.380
  5. Subtract the exponents: Subtract the exponents of the powers of 1010.107÷104=10(74)=10310^7 \div 10^4 = 10^{(7-4)} = 10^3
  6. Combine the results: Combine the results of Step 44 and Step 55 to express the quotient in scientific notation.\newline0.380×1030.380 \times 10^3
  7. Check coefficient form: Check if the coefficient is in the correct form for scientific notation (between 11 and 1010).\newlineThe coefficient 0.3800.380 is not between 11 and 1010, so we need to adjust it to be in proper scientific notation.
  8. Adjust coefficient and exponent: Adjust the coefficient to be between 11 and 1010 and adjust the exponent accordingly.\newline0.3800.380 can be written as 3.803.80 by multiplying by 1010, which means we need to decrease the exponent by 11.\newline3.80×1031=3.80×1023.80 \times 10^{3-1} = 3.80 \times 10^2
  9. Write final answer: Write the final answer in correct scientific notation.\newlineAnswer: 3.80×1023.80 \times 10^2
