A) $48 \times 10^{16}$
B) $4.8 \times 10^{16}$
C) $4.8 \times 10^{15}$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To multiply numbers in scientific notation, multiply the coefficients (6 and 8) and add the exponents (9 and 6). $6 \times 8 = 48$ and $10^{9+6} = 10^{15}$. So, $48 \times 10^{15}$ is rewritten as $4.8 \times 10^{16}$.
