Answer:

634.4 or 6.344*10^2

Explanation:

When you're being asked to write an expression in standard form, the question probably wants you to simplify the expression or write it in scientific notation

Usually, in lower levels, you would simplify the expression, in which case you would multiply 6.1 by 104 using either a calculator (if you're allowed) or on paper to get 634.4

If you think your teacher wants you to use scientific notation, you would want to write your expression as a number under 10 multiplied by a power of 10. For example, if you were looking to write 6*8 in scientific notation/standard form, you would simplify for a product of 48, and turn that into 4.8*10. In your problem, you can multiply 6.1*104, and write your product of 634.4 as 6.344*10^2

please tell me if there are any mistakes in my answer, if i wrote anything poorly, or if anything is hard to understand, i hope this helps!!
