Aliyah wants to estimate the value of the quotient of 5.68 times 10^-3 and 8.54 times 10^-9. Which statement about the value is true?

a. The value will be greater than 1 because (negative 3) divided by (negative 9) is a positive number. A number in scientific notation with a positive exponent has a value greater than 1.

b. The value will be greater than 1 because (negative 3) minus (negative 9) = 6. A number in scientific notation with a positive exponent is greater than 1.

c. The value will be less than 1 because 5.68 divided by 8.54 is less than 1. The negative exponents will make it even smaller.

d. The number will be less than 1 because 5.68 times 10 Superscript negative 3 is a very small number and division always makes the size of a number smaller.

A

Step-by-step explanation:

(5.68*10^-3) / (8.54 * 10^-9

when divide negative over negative it gives positive

10^-3 / 10^-9=10^6

5.68/8.54=0.665

0.665*10^6=6.65*10^5

6.65105386*10^5
