Answer 2

No, The power multiplied to 8.64 should have an 0 exponent.

Option 2 is correct

Explanation:

Nick found the quotient of 8.64 and 1.25 × 10⁵.

Quotient of two number is form of division.

If quotient of a and b then expression is
`\dfac{a}{b}`

Correct steps:

`\Rightarrow (8.64* 10^0)/(1.25* 10^5)`

`\Rightarrow (8.64/1.25)* 10^(0-5)`

`\Rightarrow 6.912* 10^(-5)`

Nick steps:

`\Rightarrow (8.64* 10^1)/(1.25* 10^5)` wrong step

`\Rightarrow (8.64/1.25)* 10^(1-5)`

`\Rightarrow 6.912* 10^(-4)`

The power multiplied to 8.64 should have an 0 exponent.

Therefore, Nick was wrong.
