When you divide 6x10^24 by 8x10^8 you end up with
This simplifies to
Now this number is not written in scientific notation as it does not have its first digit before the decimal, so we must move the decimal of this one to the right.
To do that you must multiply the number by 10.
This means that the exponet of 10 must decrease by 1.
This makes the answer
Stan's, Mark's and Wayne's ages are 35 , 36 and 37 years respectively.
<em><u>Explanation</u></em>
Stan's, Mark's and Wayne's ages are <u>consecutive whole numbers</u> and Stan is the youngest and Wayne is the oldest.
So, lets assume that Stan's, Mark's and Wayne's ages are and
Given that, the sum of their ages is 108. So, the equation will be.....
So, Stan's age is 35 years , Mark's age is (35+1)= 36 years and Wayne's age is (35+2)= 37 years.
