It's easier to add these first and then change to SN.
41,300,000 + 50,500,000 = 91,800,000
SN needs to change to this format:
9.18 x 10^7
Answer: [tex]9.18\times10^{7}\text{ tons}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The amounts of paper waste generated in a region during two years were 41,300,000 tons and 50,500,000 tons.
Then, the total paper waste generated over these two years in the region :-
[tex]41,300,000+50,500,000=91,800,000[/tex]
In scientific notation,
[tex]91,800,000=9.18\times10^{7}[/tex]
Hence, the total paper waste generated over these two years in the region =
[tex]9.18\times10^{7}\text{ tons}[/tex]
