Since multiplication is commutative, you can change the order of the factors:

5.1 \times 10^3 \cdot 3.2 \times 10^3 = 5.1 \cdot 3.2 \times 10^3 \cdot 10^3

So, the numeric parti is simply

5.1 \cdot 3.2 = 16.32

For the powers of ten, use the rule a^b\cdot a^c=a^{b+c} to write

10^3 \cdot 10^3 = 10^{3+3} = 10^6

So, the answer is

16.32 \times 10^6

To write the answer is proper scientific notation, you can write it as

1.623 \times 10^7

So, answers A and B represent the same number, and they are both correct. If you need the answer to be written in rigorous scientific notation, then answer is B.

(5.1\cdot10^3)\cdot(3.2\cdot10^3)=5.1\cdot10^3\cdot3.2\cdot10^3\\\\\text{use commutative property}\ a \cdot b=b\cdot a\\\\=5.1\cdot3.2\cdot10^3\cdot10^3\\\\\text{use associative property}\ (a\cdot b)\cdot c=a\cdot(b\cdot c)\\\\=(5.1\cdot3.2)\cdot(10^3\cdot10^3)\\\\\text{use}\ a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}\\\\=16.32\cdot10^{3+3}=\boxed{16.32\cdot10^6}\to\boxed{A.}

You and your friend each collect rocks and fossils. Your friend collects three times as many rocks and half as many fossils as y
pochemuha

Answer:

I collect 4 rocks and 16 fossils. While my friend collects 12 rocks and 8 fossils.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of total objects collected by me  = 20

The number of objects collected by my friend  = 20

Let us assume:

The number of rocks collected by me  = m

The number of fossils collected by me  = 2 k

⇒ m +  2 k =  20  .... (1)

So, according to the question:

The number of rocks collected by my friend = 3 x (rocks collected by me)  

= 3 x (m)  = 3 m

The number of fossils collected by my friend = 1/2 x (fossils collected by me)    = 1/2 x (2k )  = k

⇒ 3 m +   k =  20  .... (2)

Solving (1)and (2) for the value of m and k, we get:

m +  2 k =  20     ⇒ m = 20 - 2 k ... Put this in (2)

3 m +   k =  20  ⇒  3 (20 - 2 k) +  k = 20

⇒ 60 - 6 k +  k  = 20

or, - 5k = -40

or, k = 40/5  = 8

⇒ k= 8

m + 2(8)  = 20

or, m = 4

Hence, the number of rocks collected by me  = m = 4

The number of fossils collected by me  =  2 k = 2 (4)  = 16

Hence, the number of rocks collected by my friend   = 3 m  = 3 x 4 = 12

The number of fossils collected by my friend   =   k =  8

Hence, I collect 4 rocks and 16 fossils. While my friend collects 12 rocks and 8 fossils.
