Hi melody. Calculate the following, giving your answer in standard form. 1.5*10^-10/3*10^-7.

Well since you asked so nicely :)))

 

 

(1.5*10^-10 ) /  (3*10^-7)

 

1.5/3=0.5    and    \(10^{-10}/10^{-7} = 10^{-10-\; -7}=10^{-3}\)

 

so

 

\(\frac{1.5*10^{-10}}{3*10^{-7}}\\~\\=0.5*10^{-3}\\~\\=5*10^{-1}*10^{-3}\\~\\=5*10^{-4} \)

I have never heard the term "standard form division" before.

 

Standard for is just scientific notation.  The English call it standard form and everyone else calls it scientific notation.

 

I suppose you are refering to

 

\(5*10^{-4}=\frac{5}{10^4}\)

 

 

Am I right in thinking that you are from the UK ?

You don't believe me?  I am hurt to the bone.

Do you think people from Australia are still chained in the hulls of your convict ships.   That is hilarious :D

Have a look at my "What is Happening?  Wrap#4"

 

It is the second one in the sticky topics on the bottom right of the screen.

Look at the first row of every post.  :)
