Question

What is the sum of 4.9 × 102 and 6.8 × 103?

Answer 1

Answer:

The sum is

$7.92\times 10^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to add

$4.9\times 10^2 and 6.8\times 10^3$

The sum of these two numbers is:

$4.9\times 10^2 +6.8\times 10^3$

This is the same as:

$4.9\times 100 +6.8\times 1000$

$490 +6800=7290$

We rewrite 7290 in standard form to get;

$7.92\times 10^3$
