%289X10%5E%28-4%29%29%2F%283X10%5E%28-6%29%29
Do the integers first: 9%2F3+=+3 so...
%283X10%5E%28-4%29%29%2F%281X10%5E%28-6%29%29 Now, to divide quantities with exponents, subtract the exponents, so...
3X10%5E%28%28-4-%28-6%29%29%29 Simplify the exponent.
%283%29X10%5E%28-4%2B6%29 or...
3X10%5E%282%29 or...
highlight%283X100+=+300%29
