Answer:

4.4 x 10^4

Explanation:

(1.892 x 10^8)/(4.3 x 10^3) can be written as:

(1.892/4.3)*(10^8/10^3)

Do each calculation separately:

---------

(1.892/4.3) = 0.44

----------

(10^8/10^3) = 10^5 [The coefficient 3 in the denominator is subtracted from the coefficient in the numerator]

Now put the two together: 0.44 x 10^5

Move the decimal point so that it is to the right of the first digit: 4.4 and then decrease the 10^5 to 10^4.

Answer: 4.4 x 10^4
