What is the product of 4.3 x 10^2 and 2.4 x 10^5 expressed in scientific notation?

You'll have 1.032 in the first box and 8 in the second box.

=====================================================

Work Shown:

When expanded out, the number turns into which is just a bit over 103 million.

As the steps above show, we multiply the numbers out front to get 4.3*2.4 = 10.32 which then converts to . The exponential terms, when multiplied, will have the exponents add. The rule is

The first number 1.032 of the answer above is between 1 and 10, excluding 10. So it's a sign that the value is in scientific notation. That's why I converted the 10.32 to
