Express in scientific notation. make sure your answer has the same number of significant figures as the starting value. (1.8 x 10-2) ÷ (9 x 102) =

The result of division (1.8 x 10⁻²) ÷ (9 x 10²) is 2.10⁻⁵ (cause the result must have 1 significant number)

Further Explanation

Significant numbers are obtained from measurement results of exact numbers and the last number estimated

This is called significant numbers

The scientific notation can be described as:

a, ... x 10ⁿ

where the power of n is an integer, and the coefficient a is a real number

Rules for significant numbers in general:

1. All non-zero numbers are significant numbers2. a zero which is located between two non-zero numbers including a significant number3. all zeros are located in the final row written behind the decimal point of the include significant number4. zero decimal point is the not significant number5. In multiplication and division of important numbers, the final results look at the least number of significant numbers.

In the question, it is known that

(1.8 x 10⁻²) ÷ (9 x 10²) has 2(1.8) and 1(9) significant numbers, so the division of both produces 1 significant number

So that we did the significant number then proceed with rank number

1. Division of siginificant numbers

1.8: 9 = 0.2

2. Division of rank numbers

10⁻²: 10² = 10⁻⁴

So the result = 0.2.10⁻⁴

In the form of scientific notation, it becomes: 2.10⁻⁵

The result has one significant number, which is number 2
