Throughout his photography career, Paul has photographed 200 adult elephants in the wild. If each elephant weighed approximately 1.4 x 104 pounds, find the combined weight of all 200 elephants expressed in scientific notation.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex] (200*1.4) *10^4[/tex]

And we got:

[tex] 280 x10^4[/tex]

And if we move the decimal point two units to the left we got:

[tex] 2.8 x10^6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that each elefeant weight about [tex]1.4 x10^4[/tex]

And we have a total of 200 elephants so then we can find the total weights for the elephants with this formula:

[tex] 200 *1.4*10^4[/tex]

Using the properties of multiplication we can do this:

[tex] (200*1.4) *10^4[/tex]

And we got:

[tex] 280 x10^4[/tex]

And if we move the decimal point two units to the left we got:

[tex] 2.8 x10^6[/tex]
