(2.5*10^-9)(1.5*10^3) = 3.75*10^-6
yes
To determine the size of the larger cell in scientific notation, you need to multiply the size of the smaller cell (2.5 * 10^-9 m) by the factor given (1.5 * 10^3).
To do this, you can multiply the numerical values separately (2.5 * 1.5 = 3.75) and add the exponents (10^-9 + 10^3 = 10^-9+3 = 10^-6).
So, the larger cell would be expressed as 3.75 * 10^-6 m.
Your answer of 3.75 * 10^-6 m is correct!
