The correct answer is:

24 × 10⁴

Step-by-step explanation:

When we look at this number, we can see that it is 24 with 4 zeros after it. 4 zeros implies the number 10,000. This means this is the product of 24 and 10,000, or 24(10,000).

10,000 is 10⁴ (since it has 4 zeros). This makes our product 24 × 10⁴.

Where,

Answer:

The distance written as a whole number multiplied by a power of ten is:
