Although you can simply enter the
numbers in your calculator and let the
calculator do the work, some
calculators can be confusing in the way
that exponential numbers are entered. It
is always good to do a mental check in
your head, estimating the order of
magnitude of the answer, to make sure
you have not made a mistake in
entering the numbers.
In evaluating the fraction, treat the
coefficients and the powers of 10
separately at first. Remember to add
exponents when multiplying and to
subtract exponents when dividing.
