Question

The weight of a newborn baby panda is 2.2 x 10 to the 1st power pounds. If an adult Panda can weigh up to 1.2 x 10 to the 3rd power times more than a newborn panda how much does an adult Panda weigh

Answer 1

Answer: The weight of the adult panda = $2.664\times10^{4}$pounds  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The weight of a newborn baby panda = $2.2\times10^1$ pounds

According to the question , we have

The weight of adult Panda = $1.2\times10^3\times\text{weight of a newborn baby panda }$

= $1.2\times10^3\times2.2\times10^1$ pounds

= $1.2\times2.2\times10^3\times10^3$ pounds

= $2.664\times10^{3+1}$ pounds  [$\because\ a^m\timesa^n = a^{m+n}$]

= $2.664\times10^{4}$pounds

Hence, the weight of the adult panda = $2.664\times10^{4}$pounds
