This math problem can be easily solved:

  1. Do the numerator first.

(4000x10^-23)(0.00035x10^15) = 0.000000014

 

​       2. Then do the denominator.

 

5000x10^5 = 500000000

 

        3. Divide.

 

0.000000014/50000000 = 0.00000000000000028

 

Your final answer is  0.00000000000000028.

 

I will ask CPhill for confirmation though.

 [(4000x10^-23)(0.00035x10^15) ]   /   [5000x10^5]

 

Notice that we can break this up as :

 

[4000 * 0.00035] / 5000    *    [10-23 * 10^15] / [ 10^5]    =

 

(4/5) * 0.00035       *   [ 10^-8] / 10^5    =

 

.8 * 0.00035    *  1 / [ 10^8 * 10^5]  =

 

0.00028  * 1 / [ 10^13]  =

 

0.00028 x  10^-13  =

 

2.8 x 10^-17        [in scientific notation]

 

P.S. - This is essentially what DragonSlayer found!!!!

 

 

cool cool cool
