Answer 1

uhm anyone..? c:

Answer 2

To multiply two numbers written in scientific notation (without a calculator) you do the following:
First, you multiply the two mantissas (AKA significands). So, you would need to multiply 2.6 x 4.5
Then you add the two exponents and that is the exponent of the product.
So:
(the product of 2.6 x 4.5) x 10^(4+2)

Answer 3

You could also use Google as a calculator in a pinch:
Enter
2.6e04 x 4.5e02 =
into the search box. But, it will probably give the result in standard form (which you can then convert to scientific notation yourself).
