To find the value of the expression in standard form, we first multiply the two numbers in the numerator:

(4.8×10^8)(2.2×10^-6) = 10.56×10^2 = 1.056×10^3

Now we divide this result by 1.2×10^4:

1.056×10^3 ÷ 1.2×10^4 = 0.088×(10^3 ÷ 10^4) = 0.088×10^-1 = 0.0088

So, the value of the expression is 0.0088, which is 0.00088 in standard form.

Therefore, the correct answer is 0.00088.
huh??? You say
So, the value of the expression is 0.0088, which is 0.00088 in standard form.
no, it is 0.0088, like you just said!
Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. You are correct. The value of the expression is indeed 0.0088, not 0.00088. In standard form, it is 8.8 x 10^-3. Thank you for pointing that out.
