Question 571589: A red blood cell is 7 x 10^6 meters in diameter. There are about 2 x 10^13 red blood cells in a 125-lb person. If all of the red blood cells were lined up end to end, how long would the line be? Write your answer in scientific notation.

I presume you mean 7 x 10^(-6) instead of 7 x 10^6.
The length of the blood cells would simply be (2 x 10^13)(7 x 10^(-6))
= 14 x 10^7 = 1.4 x 10^8 (meters).
