Yes Karis is correct I hope this helps and if its wrong let me know but I'm sure I'm correct
The answer to your question is -12
Answer:
D) Larry can store more data than Maria because the sum of his hard drive space is 1.28 × 10^6
Step-by-step explanation:
Maria’s hard drive holds 1.0 ×10^6 megabytes of data. Larry has two hard drives, one that holds 5.1 × 10^5 megabytes of data and one that holds 7.7 × 10^5 Which statement is true? A) Maria can store more data than Larry because 10^6 > 10^5 B) Larry can store more data than Maria because 5.1 + 7.7 = 12.8 and 12.8 > 1.0 C) Larry can store more data than Maria because the sum of his hard drive space is 1.28 ×10^5 D) Larry can store more data than Maria because the sum of his hard drive space is 1.28 ×10^6
Given:
Maria’s hard drive stores 1.0 × 10^6 megabytes of data.
Larry has two hard drives,
Hard drive A = 5.1 × 10^5 megabytes of data
Hard drive B = 7.7 × 10^5
Hard drive A = 5.1 × 10^5
Hard drive B = 7.7 × 10^5
Hard drive A + hard drive B
5.1 × 10^5 + 7.7 × 10^5
= 12.8 × 10^5
Making sure Maria's hard drive and Larry's hard drive are in the same standard form
= 1.28 × 10^6
Maria's hard drive can only store 1.0 × 10^6 megabytes of data while Larry's hard drive can store 1.28 × 10^6
Therefore,
D) Larry can store more data than Maria because the sum of his hard drive space is 1.28 × 10^6
