Answer 1

The Number of text messages sent in a month is 1.68 × $10^{(-8)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Total number of teenagers in United States = 21 million

Average text messages sent per month = 800

We need to find the number of text messages sent each month

                                                                      = 21 × $10^{6}$ × 800

                                                                     = 168  × $10^{6}$ = 1.68 × $10^{(-8)}$

Step 3 :

Answer :

The Number of text messages that is sent in a month is 1.68 × $10^{(-8)}$
