1. What is the product of (5.1 × 103) • (3.2 × 103)? (1 point)
16.32 × 106
1.632 × 107
16.32 × 109
1.632 × 1010
To find the product of (5.1 × 10^3) and (3.2 × 10^3), you need to multiply the numbers and add the exponents.
First, multiply the base numbers: 5.1 × 3.2 = 16.32.
Next, add the exponents: 10^3 × 10^3 = 10^(3+3) = 10^6.
Therefore, the product is 16.32 × 10^6.
Rewriting it in scientific notation, we have 1.632 × 10^7.
Therefore, the correct answer is 1.632 × 10^7.
