Answer: [tex]9.18 x 10[/tex]⁷[tex]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]91,800,800 = 9.18 x 10[/tex]⁷

Hence, the total paper waste generated over these two years in the region =

[tex]9.18 x 10[/tex]⁷  [tex]tons[/tex]
