Question

(6 x 10^-2)(1.5 x 10^-3 + 2.5 x 10^-3)1.5 x 10^3

Answer 1

Given the expression:

`\left(6*10^(-2)\right)\left(1.5*10^(-3)+2.5*10^(-3)\right)1.5*10^3`

Let's simplify the expression.

To simplify the expression, we have:T

`\begin{gathered} (6*10^(-2))(1.5*10^(-3)+2.5*10^(-3))1.5*10^3 \\ \\ =(6*10^(-2))(4.0*10^(-3))1.5*10^3 \\ \\ =(6*4.0*10^(-2-3))1.5*10^3 \\ \\ =(24.0*10^(-5))1.5*10^3 \end{gathered}`

Solving further:

Apply the multiplication rule for exponents.

`\begin{gathered} 24.0*1.5*10^(-5+3) \\ \\ =36*10^(-2) \\ \\ =0.36 \end{gathered}`

ANSWER:

`0.36`
