1.44*10^4

Explanation:

2,400,000 * 0.006

first, write them as a scientific numbers

(2.4*10^6)*(6.0*10^-3)

then multiply power one terms together and 10 to power something to gether

(2.4*6)*(10^6*10^-3)

when you multiply same number to different powers you add the powers together so

(2.4*6)*(10^(6+(-3)))

14.4*10^3

note that scientific numbers are between 1 to 9
so 14 is not included so

move the point to the left, when you move it to the left one step you multiply by 10 so


color(red)(10^3 * 10 = 10^4)


1.44*10^4
