What do you think you should do to try to solve this?

i dont understand this stuff

athenawolf · Answer

Okay. The nice thing about scientific notation division is that it works very much like regular division as long as the base of the power (10, in this case), is the same. You have to divide the coefficients and then all you have to do is subtract the exponent on the bottom from the exponent on the top.

but wats the answer?

athenawolf · Answer

Try to figure it out. For example, if it were 2x10^8/5x10^5, you would do 2/5 and then you would subtract 5 from 8, getting 3, and end up with (2/5)x10^3. Does that make sense?

athenawolf · Answer

You'll do better if you know how to get the answer to the problem. In this case, your coefficients are 6 and 8, and your exponents are 24 and 8.
