Final answer:

The result of 690 divided by 10 to the zero power is 690, since any number to the zero power is 1, and dividing by 1 does not change the original number.

Step-by-step explanation:

The result of 690 divided by 10 to the zero power can be found by recognizing that any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is 1. So 100 equals 1. Thus, dividing 690 by 1 yields 690 itself. Therefore, the correct answer is D) 690.

By understanding how to work with exponents and powers of ten, we see that the expression simplifies to:

  • 690 ÷ 100 = 690 ÷ 1
  • 690 ÷ 1 = 690

This concept also applies when working with scientific notation. For example, 9.65 × 102 is 965 because we move the decimal point two places to the right, which is the same as multiplying by 100.
