1. Express the numbers in standard form:  
   - Twenty thousand is written as $$2 \times 10^4$$.  
   - Thirty thousand is written as $$3 \times 10^4$$.

2. Multiply the two numbers:  
   $$
   (2 \times 10^4) \times (3 \times 10^4) = (2 \times 3) \times (10^4 \times 10^4)
   $$

3. Multiply the coefficients and add the exponents of 10:  
   $$
   2 \times 3 = 6 \quad \text{and} \quad 10^4 \times 10^4 = 10^{4+4} = 10^8
   $$

4. Combine the results:  
   $$
   6 \times 10^8
   $$

Thus, the product in scientific notation is:  
$$
6 \times 10^8
$$
The product of twenty thousand and thirty thousand is $$6 \times 10^8$$.

Multiply twonty thousand by thirty thousand, and write the product in
