Question

divide. write your answer in scientific notation.
$\frac{8\times10^{8}}{8\times10^{-1}}$

Explanation:

Step1: Divide the coefficients

$\frac{8}{8}=1$

Step2: Divide the powers of 10

Using the rule $\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m - n}$, we have $\frac{10^{8}}{10^{-1}}=10^{8-(-1)} = 10^{9}$

Step3: Combine the results

$1\times10^{9}=10^{9}$

Answer:

$1\times10^{9}$
