Answer:

3.5588 x 10⁸

Step-by-step explanation:

(3.1 x 10³) (1.148 x 10⁵) = (3.1 x 1.148) (10³ x 10⁵)

9514 1404 393

Answer:

 3.6×10^8

Step-by-step explanation:

Your calculator or spreadsheet can multiply these numbers for you and give you the answer in scientific notation.

  (3.1×10^3)×(1.148×10^5) = (3.1×1.148)×10^(3+5) = 3.5588×10^8

The supplied numbers have 2 and 4 significant digits, so rounding of the answer to 2 significant digits is appropriate.

  about 3.6×10^8 blades of grass are on the entire soccer field
