Answer:

(1/3 - 5/6) / 5/6

You want to make 1/3 and 5/6 have the same denominator so you multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 2 to get 2/6. You plug that back into your equation to get: (2/6 - 5/6) / 5/6. 2/6 - 5/6 is -3/6. -3/6 divided by 5/6 is -3/6 multiplied by 6/5 which is -3/5.

Answer: A) is the right answer. $6.9\times10^{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given product : $2.3\times10^{-3}\times3\times10^8$

To multiply above expression, first we need to combine like terms and then we need to use the law of exponents.

$2.3\times3\times10^{-3}\times10^8\\=(2.3\times3)\times(10^{-3}\times10^8)\\=6.9\times10^{-3+8}......[\text{by law of exponents }a^n\cdot\ a^m=a^{m+n}]\\=6.9\times10^{5}$

Thus, the answer is $6.9\times10^{5}$ .
