104.4\cdot10^(-5)

Step-by-step explanation

to figure out this we need to use a multiplication

so

Total wigth= number of batches * unit weight

replacing


\begin{gathered} \text{total weigh=12}\cdot(8.7\cdot10^(-5))=104.4\cdot10^(-5) \\ \text{so,the answer is} \\ 104.4\cdot10^(-5) \end{gathered}
