1. Homework Statement
(2.5 x 10^24)(4.5 x 10^-9) / (3 x 10^4)
[/B]
I know that when multiplying base ten numbers with exponents you add the exponents (ie: 10^2 x 10^3 = 10^5) ad that when dividing, the exponents are subtracted. I'm not sure what my first step would be towards simplifying this equation.
