Question

divide. write your answer in scientific notation.
$\frac{6\times10^{4}}{1\times10^{2}}$

Explanation:

Step1: Divide the coefficients

$\frac{6}{1}=6$

Step2: Divide the powers of 10

Using the rule $\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m - n}$, we have $\frac{10^{4}}{10^{2}}=10^{4 - 2}=10^{2}$

Step3: Combine the results

$6\times10^{2}$

Answer:

$6\times 10^{2}$
