Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The expression to be calculated is 6×1072×104\frac{6 \times 10^{7}}{2 \times 10^{4}}.
2. The answer should be expressed in scientific notation.

STEP 2

1. Simplify the coefficients.
2. Simplify the powers of ten.
3. Combine the results and express in scientific notation.

STEP 3

Simplify the coefficients by dividing 66 by 22.
62=3 \frac{6}{2} = 3

STEP 4

Simplify the powers of ten by applying the rule 10a10b=10ab\frac{10^a}{10^b} = 10^{a-b}.
107104=1074=103 \frac{10^{7}}{10^{4}} = 10^{7-4} = 10^{3}

STEP 5

Combine the simplified coefficient and power of ten to express the result in scientific notation.
3×103 3 \times 10^{3}
The result of the calculation in scientific notation is:
3×103\boxed{3 \times 10^{3}}
