The problem in the image asks to simplify the given expression:

\[
\frac{6.14 \times 10^4}{(5.60 \times 10^{-2} \times 2.408 \times 10^0)}
\]

into the form \( b \times 10^n \), where \( b \) is correct to two decimal places, and \( n \) is an integer.

Let's break it down:

### Step 1: Simplify the powers of 10
For the denominator:
\[
5.60 \times 10^{-2} \times 2.408 \times 10^0 = (5.60 \times 2.408) \times 10^{-2}
\]
Calculate the product:
\[
5.60 \times 2.408 = 13.4848
\]
Thus, the denominator becomes:
\[
13.4848 \times 10^{-2}
\]

### Step 2: Write the expression with powers of 10 separated
Now the expression becomes:
\[
\frac{6.14 \times 10^4}{13.4848 \times 10^{-2}} = \frac{6.14}{13.4848} \times 10^{4 - (-2)} = \frac{6.14}{13.4848} \times 10^6
\]

### Step 3: Simplify the fraction
Calculate the fraction:
\[
\frac{6.14}{13.4848} \approx 0.4555
\]

### Step 4: Express in standard form
Now the expression is:
\[
0.4555 \times 10^6
\]

To express this in standard scientific notation, adjust the decimal to make the coefficient \( b \) between 1 and 10:
\[
0.4555 \times 10^6 = 4.555 \times 10^5
\]

### Step 5: Round to two decimal places
Rounding \( b \) to two decimal places gives:
\[
b = 4.56, \quad n = 5
\]

Thus, the final answer is:
\[
b = 4.56, \quad n = 5
\]
