I need help with this question.
I'm having a problem figuring out what to do when I have reduced the fractions and I'm trying to get the reciprocal of the 10^-7....

Here's how I worked the problem out:

900/.00005 x .25/.03 =

3x3 x10^2/ 5x10^5 multiplied by 5x5x 10^-2/3x 10^-2
after reducing I'm left with:
3x5 x10^2 (+)-2/ 10^-5-2

the issue I'm running into is when I add the positive 2 and negative 2, I'm left with 10^0,which should be 1.

I'm also not sure what to do with the 10^-7... I know I'm supposed to take the reciprocal and do the opposite sign... which would leave me with:

3x5 x 1 (the 1 comes from the 10^0) x 10^7/1= which would leave me with 150,000,000.

I know this is wrong based off the answer on the On demand guide...I just needhelp in figuring out where my logic is wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Hello...???... Anybody there?
LOL...Could someone please assist ..... por favor? pretty please? =)

900/(5 * 10^(-5)) * .25/(3/100)

(900 * 10^5 * 100 * .25 ) /(5 * 3)

300 * 10^5 * 20 * .25

300 * 10^5 * 5

1500 * 10^5

15 * 10^2 * 10^5

15 * 10^7
