Question

What is the product of 5.2×104 and 1.3×10-2?

Answer 1

The answer is 676.

Explanation:

I think you mean 5.2 multiplied by
`10^(4)`, and 1.3 multiplied by
`10^(-2)`.

Or do you mean 5.2 multiplied by 104 and 1.3 multiplied by 10 then subtract 2? Not really clear, but I'm going to go with the first option.

5.2 *
`10^(4)` = 52,000

1.3 *
`10^(-2)` = 0.013

52,000 * 0.013 = 676

The answer is 676.

Answer 2

551.8

Explanation:

5.2\times 104 is 540.8

1.3\times 10-2 is 11

540.8 + 11 =551.8
