Question

Approximately 7.5 x e" class="latex-formula"> gallons of water flow over a waterfall each second. There are 8.6 x $10^{4}$ seconds in 1 day.
Enter the approximate number of gallons of water that flow over the waterfall in 1 day.

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of gallons of water that flow over the waterfall in 1 day is $6.45*10^{10} gallons$

Step-by-step explanation:

The number gallons $N$ of water that flow over the waterfall in 1 day is equal to number of gallons that flow in one second multiplied by the number of seconds in a day:

$N =(7.5 *10^5gallons/sec)*(8.6*10^4sec/day)$

$N = (7.5*8.6)*10^5*10^4$

$N = 64.5*10^9 gallons$

$\boxed{N = 6.45*10^{10} gallons }$
