Answer

$1.53 \times 10^{-11}$

Work Step by Step

Multiply the corresponding parts to obtain: $=(5.1 \cdot 3) \times (10^{-8} \cdot 10^{-4}) \\=15.3 \times 10^{(-8)+(-4)} \\=15.3 \times 10^{-12}$ We simplify to put the number in scientific notation. $\\=1.53 \times 10^{-12+1} \\=1.53 \times 10^{-11}$
