Answer 2

Answer:

The number that the calculator would display for the number of raindrops in 5 thunder clouds is:

                     $3\times 10^{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

              $6\times 10^{12}\ \text{raindrops}$

Hence, the number of raindrops in five thunder clouds will be:

$5\times (6\times 10^{12})\\\\=30\times 10^{12}\\\\=3\times 10\times 10^{12}\\\\=3\times 10^{12+1}\\\\=3\times 10^{13}$
