We will use rules of exponents and scientific notation:
- $ (a \times 10^m) \times (b \times 10^n) = (a \times b) \times 10^{m+n} $
- $ \frac{a \times 10^m}{b \times 10^n} = \left(\frac{a}{b}\right) \times 10^{m-n} $
- For powers: $ (a \times 10^m)^n = a^n \times 10^{m \times n} $
Let’s solve each one:
---
1. $ (6.02 \times 10^{23})(8.00 \times 10^3) $
→ Multiply coefficients: $ 6.02 \times 8.00 = 48.16 $
→ Add exponents: $ 10^{23+3} = 10^{26} $
→ $ 48.16 \times 10^{26} $ → Convert to proper scientific notation:
→ $ 4.816 \times 10^{27} $
2. $ (6.00 \times 10^{23})(8.00 \times 10^3) $
→ $ 6.00 \times 8.00 = 48.00 $, $ 10^{23+3} = 10^{26} $
→ $ 48.00 \times 10^{26} = 4.80 \times 10^{27} $
3. $ \frac{6.00 \times 10^{23}}{8.00 \times 10^3} $
→ $ \frac{6.00}{8.00} = 0.75 $, $ 10^{23-3} = 10^{20} $
→ $ 0.75 \times 10^{20} = 7.5 \times 10^{19} $
4. $ (-4.00 \times 10^4)(7.00 \times 10^{-3}) $
→ $ -4.00 \times 7.00 = -28.00 $, $ 10^{4 + (-3)} = 10^1 $
→ $ -28.00 \times 10^1 = -2.80 \times 10^2 $
5. $ \frac{3.00 \times 10^{-2}}{6.00 \times 10^{-3}} $
→ $ \frac{3.00}{6.00} = 0.5 $, $ 10^{-2 - (-3)} = 10^{1} $
→ $ 0.5 \times 10^1 = 5.0 \times 10^0 = 5.0 $
6. $ \frac{7.66 \times 10^{48}}{6.02 \times 10^{23}} $
→ $ \frac{7.66}{6.02} \approx 1.272 $, $ 10^{48-23} = 10^{25} $
→ $ 1.272 \times 10^{25} $
7. $ (3.00 \times 10^3)^2(8.00 \times 10^4) $
First: $ (3.00 \times 10^3)^2 = 3.00^2 \times 10^{3 \times 2} = 9.00 \times 10^6 $
Then: $ (9.00 \times 10^6)(8.00 \times 10^4) = 72.0 \times 10^{10} = 7.20 \times 10^{11} $
8. $ \frac{(6.02 \times 10^{23})(1.00 \times 10^{-3})}{5.54 \times 10^3} $
Numerator: $ 6.02 \times 1.00 = 6.02 $, $ 10^{23 + (-3)} = 10^{20} $ → $ 6.02 \times 10^{20} $
Denominator: $ 5.54 \times 10^3 $
Divide: $ \frac{6.02}{5.54} \approx 1.086 $, $ 10^{20 - 3} = 10^{17} $
→ $ 1.086 \times 10^{17} $
9. $ \frac{(6.02 \times 10^{23})(1.00 \times 10^{-3})}{5.54 \times 10^3} $
→ Same as #8 → $ 1.086 \times 10^{17} $
10. $ \frac{(6.02 \times 10^{23})(1.00 \times 10^{-3})}{5.54 \times 10^3} $
→ Again same → $ 1.086 \times 10^{17} $
Wait — looks like #8, #9, #10 are identical? Possibly typo in worksheet. But assuming it's correct:
Let’s recheck #8, #9, #10:
Actually, looking again:
#8: $ \frac{(6.02 \times 10^{23})(1.00 \times 10^{-3})}{5.54 \times 10^3} $ → already done → $ 1.086 \times 10^{17} $
#9: $ \frac{(6.02 \times 10^{23})(1.00 \times 10^{-3})}{5.54 \times 10^3} $ → same → $ 1.086 \times 10^{17} $
#10: $ \frac{(6.02 \times 10^{23})(1.00 \times 10^{-3})}{5.54 \times 10^3} $ → same → $ 1.086 \times 10^{17} $
So likely a copy-paste error in the worksheet.
But let's proceed with what's written.
Now continue:

12. $ (6.02 \times 10^{23})(1.00 \times 10^{-3}) $
→ $ 6.02 \times 1.00 = 6.02 $, $ 10^{23 - 3} = 10^{20} $ → $ 6.02 \times 10^{20} $
13. $ \frac{1.00 \times 10^{-3}}{7.00 \times 10^{-3}} $
→ $ \frac{1.00}{7.00} \approx 0.14286 $, $ 10^{-3 - (-3)} = 10^0 $ → $ 0.14286 $ → $ 1.4286 \times 10^{-1} $
14. $ \frac{(1.00 \times 10^{-3})(1.00 \times 10^{-3})}{6.02 \times 10^{-3}} $
Numerator: $ 1.00 \times 1.00 = 1.00 $, $ 10^{-3 + (-3)} = 10^{-6} $ → $ 1.00 \times 10^{-6} $
Divide: $ \frac{1.00 \times 10^{-6}}{6.02 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{1.00}{6.02} \times 10^{-6 - (-3)} = 0.166 \times 10^{-3} = 1.66 \times 10^{-4} $
15. $ (7.00 \times 10^4)^3(3.00 \times 10^{-3})(6.02 \times 10^{23}) $
Step-by-step:
- $ (7.00 \times 10^4)^3 = 7.00^3 \times 10^{4 \times 3} = 343 \times 10^{12} = 3.43 \times 10^{14} $
- Now multiply: $ (3.43 \times 10^{14})(3.00 \times 10^{-3}) = 10.29 \times 10^{11} = 1.029 \times 10^{12} $
- Then: $ (1.029 \times 10^{12})(6.02 \times 10^{23}) = 6.19458 \times 10^{35} \approx 6.19 \times 10^{35} $
