Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Convert each number to scientific notation:
0.0085 = 8.5 x 10^-3
0.0000006 = 6 x 10^-7
0.001 = 1 x 10^-3
Multiply the numbers together, and add the exponents:
(8.5 x 10^-3) x (6 x 10^-7) x (1 x 10^-3) = 5.1 x 10^-12 = 11ebb63d_1b8f_04e5_b851_117d648e9dec_TB8475_11 (0.0085)(0.0000006)(0.001)

= 8.5 x 10^-3 x 6 x 10^-7 x 1 x 10^-3

= 5.1 x 10^-14

Option C is the only choice with this answer in scientific notation.
