Answer 2

Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kale works in a packaging factory that has 900 employees.

By the end of each day, they manage to package 3.2 × $10^{5}$ products.

The average amount of products packaged per employee =

$\frac{\text{total packaged products}}{\text{number of employees}}$

= $\frac{(3.2)(10^{5}) }{900}=(0.00355)(10^{5} )$

= 3.6 × 10² products

Option B is the correct answer.
