Math Problem Statement

Find 6.5 × 10^11 ÷ 1.3 × 10^8. Write your answer in scientific notation.

Solution

The problem in the image is asking to divide two numbers expressed in scientific notation:

6.5×10111.3×108\frac{6.5 \times 10^{11}}{1.3 \times 10^{8}}

To solve this, let's break it into two steps:

  1. Divide the coefficients:
    6.51.3=5\frac{6.5}{1.3} = 5

  2. Subtract the exponents of the powers of 10:
    1011÷108=10118=10310^{11} \div 10^{8} = 10^{11-8} = 10^3

Thus, the result is: 5×1035 \times 10^3

So, the final answer in scientific notation is: 5×1035 \times 10^3
