I need answers asap!!!!!

The speed of sound is about 3.4 x 10 to the 2nd power meters per second.
Mark is performing a science experiment and he needs to know how far
sound travels in 3 x 10 to the 10th power seconds. If Mark uses a calculator to solve this
problem, how will the calculator show the answer?

Answer:

[tex]1.02 \times 10^{13}[/tex] would be the answer in the calculator.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of the sound = [tex]=3.4 \times 10^{2}[/tex] meters per second  

Time to calculate the distance travelled = [tex]3 \times 10^{10}[/tex] seconds  

Since, Distance = Speed × Time

Using the values we get: [tex]3.4 \times 10^{2} \times 10^{10}=3.4 \times 3 \times 10^{(10+2)}[/tex] = [tex]=10.2 \times 10^{12}=1.02 \times 10^{13}[/tex]

The answer shown on calculator would be shown as: Distance = [tex]1.02 \times 10^{13}[/tex]
