Evaluate and write the answer in scientific notation. Round the significant to at least 4 decimal places:

(1.71 x 10^4) (6 x 10^5) / 8.8 x 10^13

1.166 x 10^-4

Step-by-step explanation:

(1.71 x 10^4) (6 x 10^5) / (8.8 x 10^13)

= (1.71) x (10^4) x (6) x (10^5) x (10^-13) x (8.8^-1)

= [ (1.71) (6) / (8.8) ] (10^4) (10^5) (10^-13)

= [ (1.71) (6) / (8.8) ][10^ (4 + 5 - 13) ]

= 1.16591 x 10^-4

= 1.166 x 10^-4 (3 dec pl)
