bloomlocke367 · Answer

are you multiplying or dividing?

anonymous · Answer

its dividing I thought?

bloomlocke367 · Answer

okay... you didn't say in the question XD

anonymous · Answer

yes it has to be dividing

bloomlocke367 · Answer

so you have$$\frac{ 8.2 \times 10^5 }{2.75 \times 10^{-3} }$$ right?

anonymous · Answer

yes

bloomlocke367 · Answer

okay... when you divide exponents, it's a little different.

bloomlocke367 · Answer

you subtract instead of add... which I think you got XD so you're $\Large\tt\color{lime}{CORRECT!!}$
