Question
**Basic Rule for Dividing Powers of 10**

Notice that:  
\[
\frac{10^3}{10^1} = \frac{1000}{10} = 100 = 10^2
\]

**Rule:**  
\[
\frac{10^3}{10^1} = 10^{3-1} = 10^2 \quad \text{(Subtract exponents)}
\]

---

**Part A:**

\[
\frac{10^{10}}{10^4} = 10 \text{ to the power of } \Box - \Box = 10^6
\]

**Part B:**

\[
\frac{10^9}{10^6} = 10 \text{ to the power of } \Box - \Box = \Box
\]

**Part C: What is 10 billion divided by 100 million?**

Hint:  
Answer: \(\Box\)

---

**Explanation:**

The image illustrates the rule for dividing powers of ten by subtracting the exponents. For example, \(\frac{10^3}{10^1} = 10^{3-1} = 10^2\). In this same way, examples are provided for calculations using different exponents, guiding learners to fill in the blanks with the correct calculations.
