Answer:
[tex]2.16 \times {10}^{ - 4} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The lab technician is dividing a cell that has a diameter of
[tex]4 .32 \times {10}^{ - 4} [/tex]
The new cells has a diameter that is half of the diameter of the original cell.
The diameter of the new cell is given as:
[tex] \frac{4.32 \times {10}^{ - 4} }{2} [/tex]
Rewrite the numerator in standard notation:
[tex] \frac{0.000432}{2} [/tex]
[tex] = 0.00216[/tex]
We rewrite in scientific notation to obtain:
[tex]2.16 \times {10}^{ - 4} [/tex]
