9.7 X 10^10
__________
9.74 X 10^7
I am assuming that you divide 9.7 by 9.74 and that answer would be times 10^3
so... 9.7/9.74 = .99589... X 10^3
so... 9.9 X 10^4 but...the answer needs to be rounded to the nearest whole number. The nearest whole number is 10, but the number is supposed to be between 1 and 9. Would 9 be the nearest whole number? or would it be 1 X 10^(3 or 5?)
There, I gave as much information as I could!
