Answer 1

Answer:

3.456E + 14= $3.456X10^{14$

Step-by-step explanation:

The river discharges $4X10^6$ cubic feet of water into the Pacific Ocean each second.

There are 86,400 seconds in one day.

Amount of water discharges each day

$=4X10^6X86400\\=345600000000\\=3.456X10^{11$

Since this differs from what you have, I will explain the scientific notation.

3.456E + 14 simply means $3.456X10^{14$

The options are not well laid out but you can pick the appropriate option.
