Let's rewrite the numbers correctly:
 3.2 × 10 ^ 4
 3.6 × 10 ^ 2
 Now let's do the multiplication step by step:
 Step 1:
 The step Kevin made:
 (3.2 * 3.6) * ((10 ^ 4) * (10 ^ 2))
 11.52 * (10 ^ (4 + 2))
 11.52 * 10 ^ 6
 Step 2:
 Rewrite the expression:
 11.52 * 1000000
 Step 3:
 Roll the comma to the right:
 11520000

The next thing Kevin should do is to write the result in standard form

Scientific notations

The standard form of scientific notation is expressed as [tex]A \times 10^n[/tex] where:

  • A is between 1 and 10
  • n is an integer

Given the product of 3.2 × 10^4 and 3.6 × 10^2 as 11.52 × 10^6, the next thing Kevin should do is to write the result in standard form as shown:

[tex]11.52 \times 10^6 = 1.152 \times 10 \times 10^6\\ 11.52 \times 10^6 = 1.152 \times 10^7[/tex]
