To multiply the numbers in scientific notation, you can multiply the coefficients and add the exponents.
1. Multiply the coefficients:
\(2.3 \times 3 = 6.9\)
2. Add the exponents:
\(-3 + 8 = 5\)
Therefore, the product is:
\(6.9 \times 10^5\)
So, the answer in scientific notation is \(6.9 \times 10^5\).
