Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Performing the calculations given in the expression, we get:
(2.97 x 10^10) / (6.09 x 10^(10-1+0)) = 1.9360163
We now express this number in scientific notation:
1.9360163 = 1.9360163 x 10^0
To get to the final answer, we need to multiply this by 10^(10-1+0+14) = 10^23, to account for the exponents in the original expression. 
Thus, the final answer is:
1.9360163 x 10^23 = 1.81 x 10^(23+0) = 1.81 x 10^23, which is closest to option B.
