Multiply 3.2 x 10^4 and 1.95 x 10^6

1 answer

To multiply numbers in scientific notation, you need to multiply the coefficients and add the exponents.

Step a: Multiply the coefficients:
3.2 x 1.95 = 6.24

Step b: Add the exponents:
10^4 * 10^6 = 10^(4+6) = 10^10

Combining the coefficient and exponent, we get the answer in scientific notation:
6.24 x 10^10
