Math Problem Statement

(2.7 × 10^-2) (1.9 × 10^-6) = ?

Solution

To solve this problem, we need to multiply the numbers 2.7×1022.7 \times 10^{-2} and 1.9×1061.9 \times 10^{-6}, and express the result in scientific notation.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Multiply the coefficients: 2.7×1.9=5.132.7 \times 1.9 = 5.13

  2. Multiply the powers of 10: 102×106=1026=10810^{-2} \times 10^{-6} = 10^{-2-6} = 10^{-8}

  3. Combine the results: 5.13×1085.13 \times 10^{-8}

So, the final answer in scientific notation is: 5.13×108\boxed{5.13 \times 10^{-8}}
