$2.3*10^1$

First of all, you should have the number that isn't a multiple of ten written first, like so:

$0.23*10^2$

Then, actually multiply to get a number.

$0.23*10^2 = 23$

Then, write the new equation with a number larger than 1, but less than 10, and multiply it by a multiple of ten

$23=2.3*10=2.3*10^1$

We use 10^1, as you need to multiply 2.3 by 10 to get 23
