Answer:

1.18 x 10⁵

Step-by-step explanation:

3.14 x 10⁻² / 2.65 x 10⁻⁷ = 1.18 x 10⁵

When performing division, the final answer should have the same number of significant figures as the number with the smallest number of sig figs. In this case, both of the given numbers have 3 sig figs, meaning the final answer should have this many as well.
