Answer

$7 \times 10^6$

Work Step by Step

Express each number in scientific notation to obtain: $=\dfrac{4.9 \times 10^4}{7 \times10^{-3}}$ Divide 4.9 and 7 together and the powers of 10 together to obtain: $=\dfrac{4.9}{7} \times \dfrac{10^4}{10^{-3}} \\=0.7 \times 10^{4-(-3)} \\=0.7 \times 10^{4+3} \\=0.7 \times 10^7 \\=(7 \times 10^{-1}) \times 10^7 \\=7 \times 10^{-1+7} \\=7 \times 10^6$
