Answer:

0.399

Explanation:

The key to doing this problem properly lies in knowing and following order of operations rules.

Here we must perform mult. and div. before addition and subtr., but even before that we must do all work enclosed in parentheses first.

(22.8 × 10–3) is evaluated by doing the mult. first, and then subtracting 3:

(228-3) = 225

and

(5.7 × 10–6) is evaluated by doing the mult. first, then subtracting 6:

(570-6) = 564.

Finally, we divide 225 by 564, obtaining 0.399 (after rounding off to three decimal places).
