Question

perform the following operation: (5×10⁻³ g) ÷ (2×10⁻³ l) give the answer in scientific notation to the correct number of significant digits. use ^ to indicate a superscript (eg 2.3×10^2 m to indicate 2.3×10² m) answer: check

Explanation:

Step1: Separate coefficients and powers

Calculate coefficients: $5 - 2 = 3$
Handle powers of 10: $10^{-3} - 10^{-3}$ (same exponent, keep it)

Step2: Combine into scientific notation

Combine result with correct sig figs: $3 \times 10^{-3}$

Answer:

$3 \times 10^{-3}\ \text{g/L}$
