Perform the indicated operation.

Question

3x10^-4/6x10^-10

Answer 1

To perform this operation, we must first simplify the expression by dividing the coefficients and then subtracting the exponents when dividing powers of 10.

(3/6) * 10^(-4-(-10))
(1/2) * 10^6
0.5 * 1,000,000
500,000

Therefore, 3x10^-4 / 6x10^-10 equals 500,000.
