To find the product of two numbers in scientific notation, you multiply the coefficients and add the exponents.
The coefficient of the first number is 7.67 and the coefficient of the second number is 5.9. When you multiply these coefficients, you get 7.67 * 5.9 = 45.353.
The exponent of the first number is 9 and the exponent of the second number is -6. When you add these exponents, you get 9 + (-6) = 3.
Therefore, the product of 7.67 x 10^9 and 5.9 x 10^-6 expressed in scientific notation is 4.5253 x 10^3.
So the answer is b) 4.5253 x 10^3.
The coefficient of the first number is 7.67 and the coefficient of the second number is 5.9. When you multiply these coefficients, you get 7.67 * 5.9 = 45.353.
