You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You got it the right answer, just that your second step should be m%5E-30. Probably just a typo...
=========================================
Remember that when dividing terms with the same base, just keep your base and subtract the exponents. When multiplying, keep the base and add the exponents.
Good Luck,
