1 Answer
Verified archiveTo 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.
