Question

How do you multiply two scientific notation values? Explain the steps you would take to find the product of 6.7 × 106 and 3.2 × 105 written in scientific notation.

Answer 1

Answer:

= 4.875 × 105

(scientific notation)

In scientific notation a large number is converted to an equivalent decimal number between 1 and 10, multiplied by 10 raised to some power. Very small numbers are converted to an equivalent decimal number between 1 and 10, multiplied by 10 raised to some negative power. In this example scientific notation calculation we're solving 1.225 × 105 + 3.655 × 103:

Answer 2

Answer:

Calculate the product of the coefficients and powers separately. Apply the product of powers rule to add the exponents. The product is not in scientific notation because the coefficient is greater than 10. Change the coefficient by moving the decimal one place to the left and increasing the exponent by one.
