Let's go through the questions step by step and simplify each expression using the rules of scientific notation.

General rule for multiplying or dividing in scientific notation:

• Multiplication: $(a \times 10^m) \times (b \times 10^n) = (a \times b) \times 10^{m+n}$
• Division: $\frac{a \times 10^m}{b \times 10^n} = \frac{a}{b} \times 10^{m-n}$

1. $(7 \times 10^8) \times (9 \times 10^6)$

$(7 \times 9) \times 10^{8 + 6} = 63 \times 10^{14}$ Convert to scientific notation: $6.3 \times 10^{15}$ Answer: $6.3 \times 10^{15}$

2. $\frac{3 \times 10^4}{8 \times 10^1}$

$\frac{3}{8} \times 10^{4 - 1} = 0.375 \times 10^3$ Convert to scientific notation: $3.75 \times 10^2$ Answer: $3.75 \times 10^2$

3. $\frac{4 \times 10^9}{5 \times 10^7}$

$\frac{4}{5} \times 10^{9 - 7} = 0.8 \times 10^2$ Convert to scientific notation: $8.0 \times 10^1$ Answer: $8.0 \times 10^1$

4. $(2 \times 10^3) \times (3 \times 10^4)$

$(2 \times 3) \times 10^{3 + 4} = 6 \times 10^7$ Answer: $6 \times 10^7$

5. $(3 \times 10^7) \times (9 \times 10^6)$

$(3 \times 9) \times 10^{7 + 6} = 27 \times 10^{13}$ Convert to scientific notation: $2.7 \times 10^{14}$ Answer: $2.7 \times 10^{14}$

6. $\frac{4 \times 10^5}{16 \times 10^2}$

$\frac{4}{16} \times 10^{5 - 2} = 0.25 \times 10^3$ Convert to scientific notation: $2.5 \times 10^2$ Answer: $2.5 \times 10^2$

7. $\frac{9 \times 10^5}{10 \times 10^3}$

$\frac{9}{10} \times 10^{5 - 3} = 0.9 \times 10^2$ Convert to scientific notation: $9.0 \times 10^1$ Answer: $9.0 \times 10^1$

8. $(11 \times 10^4) \times (7 \times 10^2)$

$(11 \times 7) \times 10^{4 + 2} = 77 \times 10^6$ Convert to scientific notation: $7.7 \times 10^7$ Answer: $7.7 \times 10^7$
