4.5×102Nm

Explanation:

(1.5×106N)(3.0×108m)

= (1.5×3.0)×(106×108)Nm

= 4.5×106+(8)Nm

= 4.5×102Nm

When a number is written in scientific notation, it is written in the form a×10n, where 1a<10, in other words a is just in unit digits and decimals but no tens or higher and n is an integer.

As 4.5×102Nm is already in this form, this is the desired result.
