Look at part (a) - use the exponent rule(s).
Look at part (b) - use the exponent rule(s).
Use the Commutative and Associative properties of multiplication to rewrite the problem.
Rewrite the fraction using the Commutative and Associative properties.
Then simplify each fraction and convert to scientific notation.
