Answer

$8.37\times10^{-15}$

Work Step by Step

The given expression, $ (2.7\times10^{-24})(3.1\times10^9) ,$ simplifies to \begin{align*}\require{cancel} & (2.7\times3.1)(10^{-24}\times10^9) \\&= (8.37)(10^{-24}\times10^9) \\&= (8.37)(10^{-24+9}) &(a^m\cdot a^n=a^{m+n}) \\&= (8.37)(10^{-15}) \\&= 8.37\times10^{-15} .\end{align*} Hence, the expression $(2.7\times10^{-24})(3.1\times10^9)$ simplifies to $8.37\times10^{-15}$.
