Final answer:

To simplify the given expression in scientific notation, divide the values and subtract the exponents.


Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression (9.6 x 10-8) ÷ (2 x 10-15) in scientific notation, we divide the values and subtract the exponents.

Dividing 9.6 by 2 gives 4.8, and subtracting the exponents -8 and -15 gives -8 - (-15) = 7.

So, the simplified expression is 4.8 x 107 in scientific notation.
