Explanation:

Step1: Multiply numerator coefficients

$9 \times 8 = 72$

Step2: Add numerator exponents

$10^3 \times 10^9 = 10^{3+9} = 10^{12}$

Step3: Rewrite the expression

$\frac{72 \times 10^{12}}{5 \times 10^6}$

Step4: Divide coefficients

$\frac{72}{5} = 14.4$

Step5: Subtract exponents

$10^{12-6} = 10^6$

Step6: Adjust to scientific notation

$14.4 \times 10^6 = 1.44 \times 10^7$

Answer:

$1.44 \times 10^7$
