Evaluate 1.25 × 10\(^2\) × 0.125 × 10\(^3\) × 12.5 × 10\(^{-4}\) leaving your answer in standard form

A.

1.995 × 103

B.

1.95 × 102

C.

1.95 × 101

D.

1.95 × 10-2

E.

1.95 × 10-3

Correct answer is C

Where 1.25 × 10\(^2\) = 125

0.125 × 10\(^3\) = 125

12.5 × 10\(^{-4}\) = 0.00125

:  125 x 125 x 0.00125

= 19.53125 or 1.95 x 10\(^1\)
