Question

During the school year, each student planted

1.2 x 10^2 flowers as part of a community
service project. If there are 1.5 x 10³
students in the school, how many flowers did
they plant in total?

Answer 1

180000 total flowers

Explanation:

1.2 × 10² = is the amount of flower for each student

1.5 × 10³ = is the total of students in school

Amount of flower × total student = total flowers

(1.2 × 10²) × (1.5 × 10³)

120 × 1500

= 180000
