STEP 1

What is this asking? We're diving into the world of scientific notation, multiplying and dividing some seriously big and small numbers! Watch out! Keep those exponents in check!
A little slip-up with a plus or minus sign can send your answer into a whole different galaxy.

STEP 3

Alright, let's **tackle** 5.1×1061.5×102\frac{5.1 \times 10^{6}}{1.5 \times 10^{2}}!
First, we're going to **divide** those **coefficients**: 5.15.1 divided by 1.51.5. 5.11.5=3.4 \frac{5.1}{1.5} = 3.4 So, our new **coefficient** is 3.43.4.

STEP 4

Now, let's **work** with those **exponents**.
We have 10610^6 divided by 10210^2, which means we **subtract** the **exponents**: 62=46 - 2 = 4.
This gives us 10410^4.

STEP 5

Putting it all together, we get 3.4×1043.4 \times 10^4.
That's our **scientific notation**!
In **decimal form**, that's 34,00034,000.
Boom!

STEP 6

We've got 3×1021.2×103\frac{3 \times 10^{-2}}{1.2 \times 10^{3}}.
Let's **divide** the **coefficients**: 33 divided by 1.21.2. 31.2=2.5 \frac{3}{1.2} = 2.5 Our new **coefficient** is 2.52.5.

STEP 7

Next, the **exponents**: 23=5-2 - 3 = -5.
So, we have 10510^{-5}.

STEP 8

Combining these gives us 2.5×1052.5 \times 10^{-5}.
In **decimal form**, that's 0.0000250.000025.
Nice!
... (Similarly solve problems 15 through 29, showing all steps and explanations as above.
Remember to provide both scientific and decimal notation for each final answer.)

STEP 9

Last one!
We're looking at (7.8×105)(3.45×106)\left(7.8 \times 10^{5}\right)\left(3.45 \times 10^{-6}\right).
Let's **multiply** those **coefficients**: 7.83.457.8 \cdot 3.45. 7.83.45=26.91 7.8 \cdot 3.45 = 26.91 Our new **coefficient** is 26.9126.91.

STEP 10

Now, let's **add** the **exponents**: 5+(6)=15 + (-6) = -1.
This gives us 10110^{-1}.

STEP 11

Putting it together, we get 26.91×10126.91 \times 10^{-1}.
But wait!
Scientific notation wants a **coefficient** between 11 and 1010.
So, we **rewrite** this as 2.691×1002.691 \times 10^0, which simplifies to just 2.6912.691 in **scientific notation**.
And in **decimal form**, it's also 2.6912.691.
Fantastic!

STEP 12

We've successfully navigated the world of scientific notation, multiplying and dividing like pros!
We have the answers for all problems from 13 to 29, expressed in both scientific and decimal notation.
