(6.0 x 10^5) x (3.0 x 10^4)
= 6.0x3.0x10^5x10^4
= 18 x 10^9
= 1.8x10^10

do the others the same way.
multiply the numbers, add the powers of 10.
Then shift the decimal point at the end so the number is between 1 and 10.

Steve, I tried it that way but i never get the right answer! i'm still so confused.
Answered by Steve
ok, here are the rest. Looks like some review is in order.

when you multiply, you add powers. when you divide, you subtract powers. so
(5 x 10^–2) ÷ (2 x 10^3)
= 5÷2 x 10^-2 ÷ 10^3
= 2.5 x 10^-5

(2.56 x 10^6) x (3.56 x 10^2)
= 2.56x3.56 x 10^6x10^2
= 9.1136x10^8

population density is people/km^2, so we need to divide:

2.52 x 10^7 ÷ 4.05 x 10^5
= 2.52/4.05 x 10^7÷10^5
= 0.622x10^2
= 6.222x10^1

(5.1 × 10^3) • (3.2 × 10^3)
= 5.1x3.2 x 10^3x10^3
= 16.32x10^6
= 1.632x10^7

(7.28 × 10^-2) • (9.1 × 10^-2)
= 7.28x9.1 x 10^-2x10^-2
= 66.248x10^-4
= 6.6248x10^-3

(2.965 × 10^7) ÷ (5 × 10^3)
= 2.965/5 x 10^7÷10^3
= 0.593x10^4
= 5.93x10^3

5.2 × 10^8 x 1/25
= 5.2/25 x 10^8
= 0.208x10^8
= 2.08x10^7
