Answer:

No, The power multiplied to 8.64 should have an 0 exponent.

Option 2 is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Nick found the quotient of 8.64 and 1.25 × 10⁵.

Quotient of two number is form of division.

If quotient of a and b then expression is $\dfac{a}{b}$

Correct steps:

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{8.64\times 10^0}{1.25\times 10^5}$

$\Rightarrow (8.64\div1.25)\times 10^{0-5}$

$\Rightarrow 6.912\times 10^{-5}$

Nick steps:

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{8.64\times 10^1}{1.25\times 10^5}$  wrong step

$\Rightarrow (8.64\div1.25)\times 10^{1-5}$

$\Rightarrow 6.912\times 10^{-4}$

The power multiplied to 8.64 should have an 0 exponent.

Therefore, Nick was wrong.
