What is the capital of Egypt? ( Cairo )

1 Answer

  1. To divide numbers in scientific notation, you divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents.

    Here’s the calculation step-by-step:

    1. Divide the coefficients:

    [

    frac{6.56}{8.2} approx 0.8

    ]

    2. Subtract the exponents:

    [

    -2 – 0 = -2

    ]

    3. Combine the results:

    [

    0.8 times 10^{-2}

    ]

    4. Convert to proper scientific notation:

    Scientific notation requires the coefficient to be between 1 and 10, so we rewrite 0.8 as 8.0 and adjust the exponent:

    [

    8.0 times 10^{-3}

    ]

    Thus, the final answer is:

    [
    8.0 times 10^{-3}

    ]
