Answer 1

how is it 6*10^-4 and not 6*10^-3

Answer 2

6×10−4

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion. Let's calculate the division to find the correct answer:

(3.3×10^4) / (5.5×10^7)
= (3.3 / 5.5) * 10^(4-7)
≈ 0.6 * 10^(-3)
≈ 6×10^(-4)

So, the correct answer is 6×10^(-4), not 6×10^(-3). Thank you for pointing that out.
