Final answer:

To divide (9.12 x 10²⁰⁷) by (3.8 x 10⁵), divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents. The result is 2.4 x 10²⁰².

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide (9.12 x 10²⁰⁷) by (3.8 x 10⁵), we need to divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents.

Step 1: Divide 9.12 by 3.8 to get 2.4.

Step 2: Subtract the exponent of 10 in the denominator (5) from the exponent in the numerator (207). 207 - 5 = 202.

Therefore, the result of (9.12 x 10²⁰⁷) ÷ (3.8 x 10⁵) is 2.4 x 10²⁰², so the correct answer is option A. 2.4 x 10²⁰².
