Q. What is the quotient of 3.515×108 3.515 \times 10^{8} and 4.75×105 4.75 \times 10^{5} 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.\newline3.515×108÷4.75×1053.515 \times 10^8 \div 4.75 \times 10^5\newlineWe will divide the coefficients (the numbers before the \times 10^ part) and subtract the exponents of 1010.
  2. Divide the coefficients: Divide the coefficients.\newlineDivide 3.5153.515 by 4.754.75.\newline3.515÷4.750.743.515 \div 4.75 \approx 0.74 (rounded to two decimal places for simplicity)
  3. Subtract the exponents: Subtract the exponents.\newlineSubtract the exponent of the divisor (55) from the exponent of the dividend (88).\newline85=38 - 5 = 3
  4. Combine the results: Combine the results of Step 22 and Step 33 to express the quotient in scientific notation. 0.74×1030.74 \times 10^3 However, scientific notation requires the coefficient to be between 11 and 1010. Since 0.740.74 is not within this range, we need to adjust the coefficient and exponent.
  5. Adjust the coefficient: Adjust the coefficient to be between 11 and 1010. To adjust 0.740.74, we can multiply it by 1010 to make it 7.47.4, and decrease the exponent by 11 to keep the value the same. 7.4×10317.4×1027.4 \times 10^{3-1} 7.4 \times 10^2
