Answer

$0.00000001$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: (i) $\dfrac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}$ (ii) $a^{m} \cdot a^{n} = a^{m+n}$ (ii) $a^{-m} = \dfrac{1}{a^m}, a\ne0$ Use rule (ii) above to have: $=\dfrac{10^{8+(-10)}}{10^{4+2}} \\=\dfrac{10^{-2}}{10^{6}}$ Use rule (i) above to have: $=10^{-2-6} \\=10^{-8}$ Use rule (iii) to have: $=\dfrac{1}{10^8} \\=\dfrac{1}{100,000,000} \\=0.00000001$
