Answer:

2 × 10⁵

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

6×10⁹/ 3×10⁴ =?

The above expression can be simplified as follow:

6×10⁹/ 3×10⁴ = 6×10⁹ ÷ 3×10⁴

Recall:

Aᵐ ÷ Aⁿ = Aᵐ ¯ ⁿ

Therefore,

6×10⁹ ÷ 3×10⁴ = (6/3) × 10⁹ ¯ ⁴

6×10⁹ ÷ 3×10⁴ = 2 × 10⁵

Thus, 6×10⁹/ 3×10⁴ is equal to 2 × 10⁵
