To solve this problem, we need to evaluate the expression given in scientific notation. First, multiply the numbers in the numerator: \(3.2 \times 10^8\) and \(4 \times 10^3\). Then, divide the result by the denominator \(1.78 \times 10^9\). This involves basic operations with numbers in scientific notation.
Step 1: Calculate the Numerator
We start by calculating the numerator of the expression:
