Hello! I believe you are referencing to powers of 10. In this case 10^2 is 100. 5.6 * 100 = 560. Okay. We are looking for the expression that will give the solution that is 100,000 times greater than 560. Okay. 100,000 * 560 is 56,000,000. That is 56 million. In this case, 10^7 is equivalent to 10,000,000, because there are 7 zeros behind the 1. 5.6 * 10^7 is 56,000,000. There. 56 million is 100,000x greater than 560. The answer is B.

Your cleary not see the answer is 25
