+%28%286%2A10%5E2%29%283.2%2A10%5E2%29%29%2F%28%281.6%2A10%5E7%29%283%2A10%5E2%29%29+
First, multiply the 6 and 3.2 in the numerator. Dont forget to add the exponents.
+%2819.2+%2A+10%5E4%29%2F%28%281.6%2A10%5E7%29%283%2A10%5E2%29%29+
Do the same thing to the denominator.
+%2819.2%2A10%5E4%29%2F%284.8%2A10%5E9%29+
Divide. Subtract the exponents
+%284%2A10%5E-5%29%2F1+
Since we don't like negative exponents, invert the fraction and make the exponent possitive.
+1%2F%284%2A10%5E5%29+
