    Correct Answer
    A. 0.0000697
    Explanation
    The given answer, 0.0000697, is in standard form because it is written in decimal notation and the decimal point is placed after the first non-zero digit. In this case, the first non-zero digit is 6, so the decimal point is placed after it.

    • 24.08 x 1011

    • 2.408 x 1010

    • 2.408 x 1012

    • 2.408 x 1011

    Correct Answer
    A. 2.408 x 1012
    Explanation
    The product of (5.6 x 10^4) and (4.3 x 10^7) is equal to 24.08 x 10^11. However, none of the answer choices match this value. Therefore, the correct answer is not available.

    Which of the following represents the product in scientific notation?(3.1 x 10-7)(5.8 x 10-6)

    • 17.98 x 1013

    • 17.98 x 10-13

    • 1.798 x 10-12

    • 1.798 x 10-14

    Correct Answer
    A. 1.798 x 10-12
    Explanation
    When multiplying numbers in scientific notation, you multiply the coefficients and add the exponents. In this case, (3.1 x 10-7)(5.8 x 10-6) equals 17.98 x 10-13. However, in scientific notation, the coefficient should be between 1 and 10. Therefore, 17.98 x 10-13 can be written as 1.798 x 10-12, which is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 8.

    • .25 x 103

    • .25 x 10-3

    • 2.5 x 102

    • 2.5 x 104

    Correct Answer
    A. 2.5 x 102
    Explanation
    The given answer, 2.5 x 102, represents the quotient in scientific notation. In scientific notation, a number is written as a product of a decimal number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10. In this case, 2.5 is the decimal number between 1 and 10, and 102 is the power of 10. Therefore, 2.5 x 102 is the correct representation of the quotient in scientific notation.
