Question

Find the quotient of (5.2 · 106) and (8 · 10-3).

6.5 · 10^8

65 · 10^7
6.5 · 10^9

Answer 1

i think that the correct answer would be 6.5 · 10^9. but im not 100% positive

Answer 2

Answer:  The correct option is (B) $65.10^7.$

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the following quotient :

$Q=\dfrac{5.2\times 10^6}{8\times 10^{-3}}.$

To find the above quotient, we will try to combine the powers of 10 and divide the remaining terms as follows :

$Q=\dfrac{5.2\times 10^6}{8\times 10^{-3}}=\dfrac{520\times 10^4}{8\times 10^{-3}}=65\times 10^{4+3}=65.10^7.$

Thus, the required quotient is $65.10^7.$

Option (B) is CORRECT.
