Question

Calculate the product below and give your answer in scientific notation.

(8×10−3)×(0.0002)= ?
A) 1.6×10−6
B) 1.6×10−5
C) 1.6×10−4
D) 1.6×10−3

Answer 1

To calculate the product (8×10−3)×(0.0002), multiply the two numbers together and express the answer in scientific notation.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the product (8×10−3)×(0.0002), we multiply the two numbers together:

(8×10−3)×(0.0002)= 8×0.0002×10−3 = 0.0016×10−3

Now, we can express the answer in scientific notation by moving the decimal point to the right until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point:

0.0016×10−3 = 1.6×10−6

Therefore, the answer is 1.6×10−6.

The question asks to calculate the product of (8×10−3) and (0.0002), and then express the answer in scientific notation.

First, let's convert 0.0002 into scientific notation. This number is 2 times 1/10,000, which is 2 times 10−5. So, 0.0002 is written as 2×10−5 in scientific notation.
