What is the value of the expression 3 point 6 multiplied by 10 to the power of 8 over 1 point 2 multiplied by 10 to the power of 3? 2.4 ⋅ 105 3.0 ⋅ 1011 3.0 ⋅ 105 2.4 ⋅ 1011
The answer is 3 • 10^5. 3.2 can be divided regularly by 1.2 to get 3, but when you’re dividing common bases with powers, you subtract the powers from top to bottom, so having powers of 8 and 3, you subtract them to get 10^5
