We can start with subtracting 7040 from 20,000, getting us 12960 gallons remaining, If 720 gallons per hour are coming, we can make the equation 12960 = 720h, with h as hours. Next, we can divide both sides by 720, getting us 18. It will take 18 hours to fill the pool.
Answer:
1 * 10^12
Step-by-step explanation:
Scientific notation is a representation of a large number in a short form. The answer, 1*10^12 (read as ten to the twelfth power) essentially says that the number when expanded is 1 with 12 zeros appended to it. If you did a number like 7 trillion you would have 7 * 10^12.
Same thing can be applied for 1,000,000 (one million).
1 * 10^6 because one million has 6 zeros appended to it.
