Math Problem Statement

1.19 x 10^12/ 3.2 x 10^7

Solution

To solve the expression 1.19×10123.2×107\frac{1.19 \times 10^{12}}{3.2 \times 10^7}, follow these steps:

  1. Divide the numerical coefficients: 1.193.20.371875\frac{1.19}{3.2} \approx 0.371875

  2. Subtract the exponents: 1012÷107=10(127)=10510^{12} \div 10^7 = 10^{(12 - 7)} = 10^5

  3. Combine the results: 0.371875×1050.371875 \times 10^5

  4. Express in scientific notation: 0.371875×105=3.71875×1040.371875 \times 10^5 = 3.71875 \times 10^4

So, 1.19×10123.2×107=3.71875×104\frac{1.19 \times 10^{12}}{3.2 \times 10^7} = 3.71875 \times 10^4.
