Evaluate Using Scientific Notation (-610^-1)/(-310^-2)

$\frac{- 6 \cdot 10^{- 1}}{- 3 \cdot 10^{- 2}}$

Step 1

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

$(\frac{- 6}{- 3}) (\frac{10^{- 1}}{10^{- 2}})$

Step 2

Divide $- 6$ by $- 3$ .

$2 \frac{10^{- 1}}{10^{- 2}}$

Step 3

Subtract the exponent from the denominator from the exponent of the numerator for the same base

$2 \cdot 10^{- 1 - 2 \cdot - 1}$

Step 4

Multiply $- 2$ by $- 1$ .

$2 \cdot 10^{- 1 + 2}$

Step 5

Add $- 1$ and $2$ .

$2 \cdot 10^{1}$
