Evaluate Using Scientific Notation 180/(9*10^-5)

$\frac{180}{9 \cdot 10^{- 5}}$

Step 1

Divide using scientific notation.

Group coefficients together and exponents together to divide numbers in scientific notation.

$(\frac{180}{9}) (\frac{1}{10^{- 5}})$

Divide $180$ by $9$ .

$20 \frac{1}{10^{- 5}}$

Move $10^{- 5}$ to the numerator using the negative exponent rule $\frac{1}{b^{- n}} = b^{n}$ .

$20 \cdot 10^{5}$

Step 2

Move the decimal point in $20$ to the left by $1$ place and increase the power of $10^{5}$ by $1$ .

$2 \cdot 10^{6}$
