Special note: If this is a multiple-choice question, the key is the correct answer and the other choices are called distractors. A good question lets those who know the material get it right and tricks those who don't know the material (or are just guessing) to get it wrong. That way, when all of your answers are considered, the test tells how well you know the material. Test-makers study typical errors in order to produce the distractors, so be warned !

Answer 2

The result is ( 3.3*10^2). Divide 18.48 by 5.6; the divide 10^5 by 10^3.
