This math topic focuses on practicing the division of powers of ten using scientific notation with decimals. Students are given equations where they need to perform divisions between two exponential terms, both represented in scientific notation, and select the correct resultant power from multiple choices. The problems are designed to help understand the rules and application of dividing exponential terms, enhancing the skill of handling scientific notation in division scenarios. The problems are likely part of an introductory unit on multiplying and dividing in scientific notation.
