This problem is asking you to divide $4.5 billion by 1.75 million. When dealing with numbers that have many zeros, you can avoid mistakes by using scientific notation or by writing out the numbers and canceling zeros before using the calculator:
4.5 billion = 4,500,000,000 = 4.5 × \(10^9\)
1.75 million = 1,750,000 = 1.75 × \(10^6\)
The answer is (D). Alternatively, write one number on top of the other in fully expanded form, and cancel zeros before using the calculator:
Answer: D
