Solve 0.1*9.8/1.2*10^-2

$$\frac{ 0.1 \times 9.8 }{ 1.2 \times { 10 }^{ -2 } }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{245}{3}\approx 81.666666667$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 0.1 and 9.8 to get 0.98.

$$\frac{0.98}{1.2\times 10^{-2}}$$

Calculate 10 to the power of -2 and get \frac{1}{100}.

$$\frac{0.98}{1.2\times \frac{1}{100}}$$

Multiply 1.2 and \frac{1}{100} to get \frac{3}{250}.

$$\frac{0.98}{\frac{3}{250}}$$

Divide 0.98 by \frac{3}{250} by multiplying 0.98 by the reciprocal of \frac{3}{250}.

$$0.98\times \frac{250}{3}$$

Multiply 0.98 and \frac{250}{3} to get \frac{245}{3}.

$$\frac{245}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{5 \cdot 7 ^ {2}}{3} = 81\frac{2}{3} = 81.66666666666667$$
