Question 84253: Evaluate 4.03 x 10^-4
-------------
1.3 x 10^2
Express your answer in scientific and standard notation.
I have 0.031, 3.1 x 10^-2 but my teacher said the -2 is wrong. Answer by checkley75(3666) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 4.03*10^-4/1.3*10^2
4.03*10^-4=.000403
1.3*10^2=130 NOW DIVIDE THE TWO NUMBERS
.000403/130=.0000031 OR 3.1*10^-6
------------------------------------------------------
AN EASIER WAY TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM IS TO CONVERT THE DENOMINATOR FROM 10^2 TO
10^-2 AND PLACE IT IN THE NUMERATOR THUS WE HAVE:
(4.03*10^-4)(10^-2)/1.3
4.03*10^-6/1.3
3.1*10^-6
