1/4 of 12 simply means that if there are 4 equal quarters in 12, how many would be in each of those quarters, or 1/4*12 or 12/4. 12 divided by 4 means that the 12 is on the top and 4 is on the bottom, meaning 12/4.

Multiply the coefficients and the powers of 10 with each other:

$(3.8 \times 10^{-6}) \times (2.37 \times 10^{-3}) = (3.8\times2.37) \times (10^{-6} \times10^{-3})$

The numeric part simply yields

$3.8\times2.37 = 9.006$

As for the powers of 10, you have to add the exponents, using the rule

$a^b \times a^c = a^{b+c}$

So, we have

$10^{-6} \times10^{-3} = 10^{-6-3} = 10^{-9}$

So, the final answer is

$9.006\times 10^{-9}$
