Step 1.1

Substitute

$7.2 \cdot 10^{3} \frac{m}{s}$ for

$v$ .

$λ = \frac{7.2 \cdot 10^{3} \frac{m}{s}}{f}$

Step 1.2

Substitute

$1028.57 Hz$ for

$f$ .

$λ = \frac{7.2 \cdot 10^{3} \frac{m}{s}}{1028.57 Hz}$

$λ = \frac{7.20 \cdot 10^{3} \frac{m}{s}}{1028.57 Hz}$

Step 2.1

Rewrite

$Hz$ as

$\frac{1}{s}$ .

$λ = \frac{7.20 \cdot 10^{3} \frac{m}{s}}{1028.57 \frac{1}{s}}$

Step 2.2

Factor

$\frac{m}{s}$ out of

$\frac{7.20 \cdot 10^{3} \frac{m}{s}}{1028.57 \frac{1}{s}}$ .

$λ = \frac{m}{s} \cdot \frac{7.20 \cdot 10^{3}}{1028.57 \frac{1}{s}}$

Step 2.3

Combine fractions.

$λ = \frac{7.20 \cdot 10^{3}}{1028.57} \frac{m}{\frac{s}{s}}$

Step 2.4.1

Group coefficients together and exponents together to divide numbers in scientific notation.

$λ = (\frac{7.20}{1028.57}) (\frac{10^{3}}{1}) \frac{m}{\frac{s}{s}}$

Step 2.4.2

Divide

$7.20$ by

$1028.57$ .

$λ = 0.00700000 \frac{10^{3}}{1} \frac{m}{\frac{s}{s}}$

Step 2.4.3

Divide

$10^{3}$ by

$1$ .

$λ = 0.00700000 \cdot 10^{3} \frac{m}{\frac{s}{s}}$

Step 2.5

Move the decimal point in

$0.00700000$ to the right by

$3$ places and decrease the power of

$10^{3}$ by

$3$ .

$λ = 7.00000972 \cdot 10^{0} \frac{m}{\frac{s}{s}}$

Step 2.6

Convert

$7.00000972 \cdot 10^{0}$ from scientific notation.

$λ = 7.00000972 \frac{m}{\frac{s}{s}}$

Step 2.7

Cancel
