Hi there!
First, scientific notation is when you take a number like 15,000 or 0.0015 and turn it into a number that is less than 10 and greater than 1. What you do to make it that is you move that decimal point over to the left or right as needed. So for example, 15,000 would be 1.5 × [tex] 10^{4} [/tex] and 0.0015 is 1.5 × [tex] 10^{-3} [/tex].
So if one light year is 5.88 × [tex] 10^{12} [/tex] mi. that is just the scientific notation for 5880000000000 mi.
So if you take 5880000000000 mi. and multiply it by 11 then you get 64680000000000
5880000000000 × 11 = 64680000000000 or 6.468 × [tex]10^{13}[/tex]
So the answer would be [tex]\boxed{64680000000000} [/tex] or [tex]\boxed{6.468*10^{13} }[/tex]
