The total weight of the two animals is 5.9×10⁴ lbs.
In order to solve the question easily, firstly lets write the weight of each animal in standard form.
Weight of first animal = 5.36×10⁴
Weight of first animal = 53,600
Weight of first animal = 6.2×10⁴
Weight of first animal = 62,000
Now, the total weight of animals will be calculated by summing the two values.
Total weight = 53,600 + 62,000
Performing addition of total weight of animals
Total weight = 1,15,600 lbs
Writing the total weight in scientific notation -
Total weight = 1.15×10⁵ lbs
On rounding off, we get -
Total weight = 1.2×10⁵ lbs
Hence, the total weight of the two animals is 1.2×10⁵ lbs.
