SOLUTION: (5x10(EXPONENT-8) x (3x10(EXPONENT14)) = 15x10(EXPONENT6) = 1.5X10(EXPONENT7)=15,000,000

MY QUESTION:
HOW DID THE PROBLE GET A DECIMAL PIONT (1.5) AND WHY HAS THE VALUE OF THE EXPONENT INCREASED BY ONE? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You divide the 15 by 10 and you multiply the 10^6 by 10.
---------------------
You do this because scientific notation (ax10^b) requires that
0
So you can't just leave the answer as 15*10^6
--------------------------------
