Math Problem Statement

\large{\dfrac{4.16\times 10^{-5}}{8.0\times 10^{-4}}} =\ ?

Solution

To solve the expression:

4.16×1058.0×104\frac{4.16 \times 10^{-5}}{8.0 \times 10^{-4}}

Follow these steps:

  1. Rewrite the expression:

4.16×1058.0×104=4.168.0×105104\frac{4.16 \times 10^{-5}}{8.0 \times 10^{-4}} = \frac{4.16}{8.0} \times \frac{10^{-5}}{10^{-4}}

  1. Simplify the fraction 4.168.0\frac{4.16}{8.0}:

4.168.0=0.52\frac{4.16}{8.0} = 0.52

  1. Simplify the powers of 10:

105104=105+4=101\frac{10^{-5}}{10^{-4}} = 10^{-5 + 4} = 10^{-1}

  1. Combine the results:

0.52×101=0.0520.52 \times 10^{-1} = 0.052

Thus, the value of the expression is:

0.052\boxed{0.052}
