To simplify this expression, we can follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):
First, calculate the numerator: (0.0024^2) = 0.00000576.
Next, divide the numerator by the denominator: 0.00000576 / (2 × 10^-4).
To divide by a number in scientific notation, we can convert it to decimal form. In this case, 10^-4 is equal to 0.0001.
Rewrite the expression: 0.00000576 / (2 × 0.0001).
Simplify the denominator: 0.00000576 / 0.0002.
Now, divide the numerator by the denominator: 0.00000576 ÷ 0.0002 = 0.0288.
Therefore, 0.0024^2 / 2 × 10^-4 simplifies to 0.0288.
