Answer :

Sure, let's work through this problem step-by-step.

### Part (b)
We need to evaluate [tex]\(\left(7 \times 10^5\right) \div \left(2 \times 10^2\right)\)[/tex] and give the answer in standard form.

1. Write the expression:
[tex]\[ \frac{7 \times 10^5}{2 \times 10^2} \][/tex]

2. Rewrite the division of the coefficients and the powers of 10 separately:
[tex]\[ \left(\frac{7}{2}\right) \times \left(\frac{10^5}{10^2}\right) \][/tex]

3. Divide the coefficients:
[tex]\[ \frac{7}{2} = 3.5 \][/tex]

4. Simplify the powers of 10 using the properties of exponents:
[tex]\[ 10^5 \div 10^2 = 10^{5-2} = 10^3 \][/tex]

5. Combine the results:
[tex]\[ 3.5 \times 10^3 \][/tex]

The result in standard form is:
[tex]\[ 3.5 \times 10^3 \][/tex]

In numeric form, this would be:
[tex]\[ 3500 \][/tex]

So the answer to the given problem [tex]\(\left(7 \times 10^5\right) \div \left(2 \times 10^2\right)\)[/tex] is [tex]\(\mathbf{3.5 \times 10^3}\)[/tex].

### Part (a)
You asked to "Give your answer in standard form."
The result already provided in the context of part (b) fits this criterion:
[tex]\[ \mathbf{3.5 \times 10^3} \][/tex]

Thus, the final answer is as follows:

For part (b): When you divide [tex]\(7 \times 10^5\)[/tex] by [tex]\(2 \times 10^2\)[/tex], the result is [tex]\(\mathbf{3.5 \times 10^3}\)[/tex].

The numerical value is: 3500.0
