300times, because 6xs10^5 is equal to 600000 and 2xs10^3 is 2000, and if you divide you would get 300

Hey there!

6 * 10^5

= 6 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10

= 6 * 100 * 100 * 10

= 6 * 10,000 * 10

= 6 * 100,000

= 600,000


2 * 10^3

= 2 * 10 * 10 * 10

= 2 * 100 * 10

= 2 * 1,000

= 2,000


SOLVING FOR THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION PROVIDED.

Answer = 600,000 - 2,000

Begin at 600,000 on your number line and go back 2,000 spaces to the left. You should have your result by then!

Answer = 598,000

OR

Answer = 600,000 ÷ 2,000
Answer = 300

Thus, your answer is: 598,000 or even 300


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
