24.) (3 * 10^6)(2 * 10^12)

26.) (6 * 10^9) (5 * 10^4)

Can you please show your work so I can get a better understanding of these problems?

MULTIPLY. WRITE EACH PRODUCT IN SCIENTIFIC NOTATION.
multiply the constants together (3x2) to get 6 and then since you are multiplying and the bases are the same (the 10's) you can just add their exponents to make 10^18. so you now have 6 * 10^18. done. Same thing for the next one.
Thanks Again!
I have another question!

Write each expression using a single exponent.

34.) 5^10/5^7

36.) 76^11/76^5
a^x * a^y = a(x+y)

a^x / a^y = a^x * a^-y = a^(x-y)
34. 5^10/5^7 = 5^(10-7) = 5^3

36. 76^11/76^5 = 76^(11-5) = 76^6
24. (3*10^6)(2*10^12) = 6*10^(6+12)=6*10^18

26. (6*10^9)(5*10^4) = 30*10^(9+4) =
30*10^13 = 3*10^14
