Math Problem Statement

Solution

To solve the problem presented in the image, you need to multiply the two numbers given in scientific notation:

3.120×107×3.075×1043.120 \times 10^{-7} \times 3.075 \times 10^{4}

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Multiply the coefficients: 3.120×3.075=9.5943.120 \times 3.075 = 9.594

  2. Add the exponents of the powers of 10: (7)+4=3(-7) + 4 = -3

  3. Combine the results: 9.594×1039.594 \times 10^{-3}

So, the correct answer in scientific notation is:

9.594×1039.594 \times 10^{-3}

The correct choice is Option B.
