Answer:

2*10^1

Explanation:

Process

When you divide powers, they can be subtracted -- numerator - denominator in powers

The numbers divide the way you normally would if the question is 6/3 = 2

Numerator power = 3

denominator power = 2

Solution

6*10^3/ 3*10^2 = (6/3) * 10^(3 -2) = 2 * 10^1 = 20

20 = 2 * 10^1
