Question

What is the quotient of `)2.965 x 10^7) div (5x10^3)`?

Answer 1

`(2.965xx10^7)-:(5xx10^3)=5.93xx10^3`

Explanation:

`(2.965xx10^7)-:(5xx10^3)`

= `2.965/5*10^7/10^3`

= `0.593*10^(7-3)`

= `0.593xx10^4`

= `5.93xx10^3`

Note that numbers are given in scientific notation, where we describe a number as `axx10^n`, where `1<=a<10` and `n` is an integer. Here as `0.593<1`, we modified the answer appropriately.
