Answer:
![(2* 10^(-3))* (4* 10^4)=4* 10^1](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/xfecrv13z7dnlb3wefgdfwouih3oslwi3z.png)
Explanation:
We have been given that a mustard seed has a mass about 0.002 gm. A glass jar contains about
seeds. We are asked to find the mass of mustard seeds in the jar.
First of all, we will convert the mass of mustard seed in scientific notation.
![0.002=2* 10^(-3)](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/6m6d9fkiwpafrovv5szupz5j6tyxwf6xm4.png)
To find the mass of seeds in jar, we will multiply number of seeds by mass of one seed.
![\text{Mass of seeds in jar}=2* 10^(-3)* 4.3602* 10^4](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/oyq6lqg3mh7yrjr5ypob3cild1f5fj2ggh.png)
Using exponent property
, we will get:
![\text{Mass of seeds in jar}=2* 4.3602* 10^(-3+4)](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/3ovo2hqjtcnlmktxwqy5qtkpbv5hia660l.png)
![\text{Mass of seeds in jar}=8.7204* 10^(1)](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/m86b2lj14fllvaytasyfgpftuzr58orlrl.png)
Therefore, option C is the correct choice.
