A tropical speices of mite is the record holder for the strongest insect in the world. It can lift up to 1.182*10^3 times its own weight. If a person weight 100 pounds were as strong as the insect how much could the person lift 

 

Could you please tel me how its really really confusing and the awnser need to be in scientific notation?

Just multiply the two together

1.182 x 10^3  =  1182      that's all.....just space the decimal point over by the same number as the exponent

 

1182  x  100  =   118,200   =   1.182 x 10^5 lbs !
