Answer:


8.2\cdot 10^8

Step-by-step explanation:

The two numbers are:


a=4.592\cdot 10^(24)


b=5.6\cdot 10^(15)

In order to calculate their ratio, we have to:

- Divide the base of a by the base of b

- Subtract the exponent of b from the exponent of a

Mathematically, we have:


(a)/(b)=(4.592)/(5.6)\cdot 10^(24-15)=0.82\cdot 10^9 = 8.2\cdot 10^8
