(2) 5.52 × 107 (4) 5.52 × 1010
those are the answers

anonymous · Answer

Oh, I though the three quantities were multiplied, not separate questions.

anonymous · Answer

first you multiply them all out, using a calculator, then you take whatever number you get this case being 5372892, and reduce it to a single digit number with decimals.
5.472896
then you count the decimals, 6
multiply the number by 10 to the number of decimals power
5.472869*10^6
