  1. Answer:
    8*10^3
    Step-by-step explanation:
    The Mongolian Giant Sunflower produces seeds that are over 1 inch long, grow up to 18 feet tall, and flowers that are 1 ½ feet wide.  – All of this information is useless, all the question is asking is how many seeds do 8 flowers produce.
    Each flower head produces 1,000 seeds. If you save 8 flowers for harvesting, how many seeds is that? – 1000*8 = 8000. 8000 is scientific notation is 8*10^3, as 10^3=1000, and 1000*8=8000 seeds.
