Question

Calculate 1.6 ∙ 103 times 3.0 ∙ 10-6. (Box after the "10" in answer is for the exponent.)

Answer 1

`1.6\cdot 10^3* 3.0\cdot 10^(-6)=4.8*10^(-3)`

Explanation:

Given : Expression
`1.6\cdot 10^3* 3.0\cdot 10^(-6)`

To find : Calculate the given expression?

Solution :

Step 1 - Write the expression

`=1.6\cdot 10^3* 3.0\cdot 10^(-6)`

Step 2 - Taking 10 power together

`=(1.6* 3)*(10^3* 10^(-6))`

Step 3 - Solve the multiplication and if base are same then in multiplication power get added.

`=4.8*10^(3-6)`

`=4.8*10^(-3)`

Therefore, The solution of expression is

`1.6\cdot 10^3* 3.0\cdot 10^(-6)=4.8*10^(-3)`

Answer 2

(1.6 * 10^3) * (3.0 * 10^-6) =
(1.6 * 3.0) * (10^3 * 10^-6)
4.8 * 10^(3 - 6) =
4.8 * 10^-3 =
4.8 * 1/10^3 =
4.8 / 10^3 =
4.8 / 1000 =
0.0048 <==
