Question

Solve.(3.3 × 10³) (2 × 10²)

Answer 1

Here are the steps in multiplying scientific notations:

1. Multiply the coefficients first.

`3.3*2=6.6`

2. Multiply the base 10 by adding their exponents.

`10^3*10^2=10^(3+2)=10^5`

3. Connect the result in steps 1 and 2 by the symbol for multiplication.

`6.6*10^5`

Hence, the result is 6.6 x 10⁵.
