Question
Express $\frac{1.5\times10^6}{2.5\times10^{-4}}$ in the standard form.

Answer

Given,
$\frac{1.5\times10^6}{2.5\times10^{-4}}=\frac{15}{25}\times10^{6+4}$ [$\because$ $a^m÷ a^n= (a)^{m-n}$]
$=\frac{3}{5}\times10^{10}$
$=0.6\times10^{10}$
$=0.6\times10^{10}\times10^{-1}$
$=6\times10^9$ [$\because$ $a^m× a^n= (a)^{m-n}$]
