Question

what is the quotient of $3.069 \times 10^6$ and $4.95 \times 10^2$ expressed in scientific notation?
answer attempt 1 out of 2
answer: $\square \times 10^{\square}$

Explanation:

Step1: Split into coefficient and power

$\frac{3.069 \times 10^6}{4.95 \times 10^2} = \frac{3.069}{4.95} \times \frac{10^6}{10^2}$

Step2: Calculate coefficient quotient

$\frac{3.069}{4.95} = 0.62$

Step3: Simplify power of 10

$\frac{10^6}{10^2} = 10^{6-2} = 10^4$

Step4: Adjust to scientific notation

$0.62 \times 10^4 = 6.2 \times 10^{3}$

Answer:

$6.2 \times 10^{3}$
