Find the product of 21 and (6.3 · 10-4).

A0.1323 · 10-1
B1.323 · 10-3
C1.323 · 10-2
D1.323 · 102

Verified Answer :

I don't think it'd be any of those, because 21×6.3= 132.3, not any of those others. To solve, you would use distributive property and multiply but I don't understand. I'd guess and say it's B, because that's closest to what I got.

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given numbers are 21 and (6.3 · 10⁻⁴).

We need find the product of given numbers.

\(Product=21\cdot (6.3\cdot 10^{-4})\)

\(Product=(21\cdot 6.3)\cdot 10^{-4}\)

On simplification we get

\(Product=(132.3)\cdot 10^{-4}\)

Write the number 132.3 in scientific notation.

\(Product=(1.323\cdot 10^2)\cdot 10^{-4}\)

Using power property of exponents we get

\(Product=1.323\cdot 10^{2-4}\)          \([\because x^mx^n=x^{mn}]\)

\(Product=1.323\cdot 10^{-2}\)

The product of given values is \(1.323\cdot 10^{-2}\). Therefore the correct option is C.
