300

Answer 1

the answer would be 300 because 2 x 10^3 = 2000 and 6 x 10^5 = 600000. when you divide 600000 by 2000 it equals 300.

Answer 2

Oak township books are 300 times Oak school Library

Explanation:

Number of books in Oak Township =
`6 X 10^5`

Number of books in Oak School =
`2 X 10^3`

Dividing Oak Township books by Oak School books ,we get

`(6X10^5)/(2X10^3)`

on solving ,we get

`3X10^2`

3 X100

300
