Argentinosaurus weighs 220,000 pounds. How much would 1,500 Argentionosaurus dinosaurs weigh? use scientific notation
So we have
[2.2 x 105] x [1.5 x 103 ] =
3.3 x 108
220,000 = 2.2 x 10^5
1,500 = 1.2 x 10^3
(2.2 x 10^5) x (1.2 x 10^3) = (2.2 x 1.2) x (10^5 x 10^3) = 2.64 x 10^8 = 2.6 x 10^8
If you have any question about changing something into scientific notation or handling the exponents, please ask.
Take CPhill's answer; I miscopied a number! Sorry, ...
