Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

Given expression is,

(6 × 10⁸) ÷ (1.5 × 10⁻⁴)

We can rewrite the given expression as,


(6* 10^8)/(1.5* 10^(-4))

Now by solving this expression further,


(6* 10^8)/(1.5* 10^(-4))=(6)/(1.5)* (10^8)/(10^(-4))


=4* 10^8* 10^4 [Since
(1)/(10^(-4)) =10^4]

=
4* 10^((8+4))

=
4* 10^(12)

Therefore, Quotient of the given expression is
4* 10^(12).

Option (3) will be the answer.
