To add numbers in scientific notation, we need to have the same exponent. Let’s rewrite (3.9 times 10^5) in terms of (10^6):

1. Convert (3.9 times 10^5) to (10^6):

[

3.9 times 10^5 = 0.39 times 10^6

]

2. Now, we can add the two numbers:

[

(5.27 times 10^6) + (0.39 times 10^6) = (5.27 + 0.39) times 10^6 = 5.66 times 10^6

]

So, the answer is (5.66 times 10^6). Great job following along! If you need more help, feel free to check out the extended services page.
