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.}

Leah cut a 7 inch ribbon into pieces that are 1/2 an inch long. How many pieces of ribbon did she cut? ​
photoshop1234 [79]

14 ribbons.

7 divided by 1/2 is 14. dividing by a fraction or decimal is just like multiplying without the decimal point or numerator.
