Then, in scientific notation, 124 is written as 1.24 × 102. Actually, converting between "regular" notation and scientific notation is even simpler than I just showed, because all you really need to do is count decimal places.
there are 60 seconds in a minute so about 6 9 seconds in a minute. then there is 12 pages per 9 seconds and since there is 6 9 seconds then you can just multiply 6 by 9 to get the answer 72
