UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

1. Write the division as
   $$
   \frac{2.1 \times 10^{-2}}{7 \times 10^{1}}.
   $$

2. Divide the coefficients and the powers of 10 separately:
   $$
   \frac{2.1}{7} = 0.3 \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{10^{-2}}{10^{1}} = 10^{-2-1} = 10^{-3}.
   $$

3. Combine the results:
   $$
   0.3 \times 10^{-3}.
   $$

4. Express the answer as a decimal:
   $$
   0.3 \times 10^{-3} = 0.0003.
   $$

Final answer: $$0.0003$$.
The answer is 0.0003.
