For me, I know that this answer would be greater than 10 because for a fact, 621 and 59 aren't just perfect multiples of 10. But I don't know, because all humans don't really think alike. So, your teacher might say this doesn't work. Then in that case, I am very sorry. :0
But in any case, I hope this helps and have a good night! :D
You need to multiply 13.4 by 5,880,000,000,000.
First, we change both numbers into scientific notation.
13.4 = 1.34 * 10^1
5,880,000,000,000 = 5.88 * 10^12
Now we multiply the numbers written in scientific notation.
1.34 * 10^1 * 5.88 * 10^12 =
= 7.8792 * 10^13
The answer is choice A.
We can see this is a summation of multiples of 8 plus 1, which starts at 1.
This can be written in the following way:

Lets verify the summation expression by doing the sequence for the first 4 elements (hence

, as it starts from 0):
![\Sigma_{m=0}^{3}(8m+1)=[8(0)+1]+[8(1)+1]+[8(2)+1]+[8(3)+1]=](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CSigma_%7Bm%3D0%7D%5E%7B3%7D%288m%2B1%29%3D%5B8%280%29%2B1%5D%2B%5B8%281%29%2B1%5D%2B%5B8%282%29%2B1%5D%2B%5B8%283%29%2B1%5D%3D)

As you can see, the generalization is correct.
You would multiply 2/5 by 2/2 to get 4/10, your common denominator ends up being ten so you have 3/10 and 4/10.
