Answer:

0.2 x 10⁻⁴

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem here is to evaluate:

(1.8 x 10⁻²) ÷ (9 x 10²)

To solve this problem, some certain rules of indices must be followed. In the event that we have an expression such as:

(a x bˣ ) ÷ (c x bᵃ) =
(a)/(c) x bˣ⁻ᵃ

So;

(1.8 x 10⁻²) ÷ (9 x 10²) =
(1.8)/(9) x 10⁻²⁻²

= 0.2 x 10⁻⁴
