My final answer is always 192000000000000000000/18000000000=10666666666.666666666666666666667. This is the only problem in this section of my material that I cannot come up with. Please help me!!
The problem is (6x10^12)(3.2x10^8)/(6x10^7)(3x10^2)

(6x10^12)(3.2x10^8)/(6x10^7)(3x10^2)
------------------------------
=[(6*3.2)(x^20] / [18*10^9]
= [19.2x10^20] / [18x10^9]
= [1.0666...]x[10^11]
================
