Scientific Notation Division

When dividing numbers in scientific notation, what do you do to the exponents?
For example:
(4×10⁵) ∕ (3×10²)

• Add them

• Subtract them

• Keep them the same

• Divide them

Divide:

(6.9 x 10⁷) / (2.3 x 10^–3)

• 3 x 10¹⁰

• 3 x 10⁴

• 3 x 10^–4

• 3 x 10^–11

Solve:
(6 x 10⁶) / (2 x 10³)

• 12 x 10³

• 3 x 10⁹

• 1.2 x 10⁴

• 3 x 10³

Divide: (8.4 x 10⁶)/(2.1 x 10³)

• 0.4 x 10⁴

• 400 x 10^-3

• 4 x 10³

• 4 x 10²

Use the expression below to answer Parts A and B. (7.8 imes10^5) div (1.2 times10^9). Part A: Complete a true statement about the expression. The quotient will be ​ ​ (a)   because the exponent of the divisor is ​ (b)   the exponent of the dividend.

• Less than 1

• greater than 1

• equal to 1

• greater than

• less than

• equal to
