To estimate the product \(2.7 \times 14\), we can round \(2.7\) to \(3\) and \(14\) to \(10\) for simplicity in calculations.
So, we can calculate:
\[
3 \times 10 = 30
\]
Now, we need to express \(30\) in scientific notation. We know that \(30 = 3.0 \times 10^1\).
Now, to answer the original question regarding the best estimate for the product’s power of 10, the power of 10 in the scientific notation \(3.0 \times 10^1\) is:
\[
\boxed{1}
\]
If the choices provided are \(14\), \(15\), \(27\), and we see there’s no \(1\), then there might be a misunderstanding, so I suggest to check the exact options on the original question or clarify as needed.
