Let's choose 3.2*10^4 and 1.95*10^6 from the list.
To add them, we need to first make sure they are in the same power of 10. We can do this by converting one of the numbers to match the power of the other number.
So, let's convert 3.2*10^4 to match the power of 1.95*10^6.
3.2*10^4 = 0.32*10^5
Now that they have the same power of 10, we can add the numbers:
0.32*10^5 + 1.95*10^6 = (0.32 + 1.95) * 10^6 = 2.27 * 10^6
Therefore, the sum of 3.2*10^4 and 1.95*10^6 is 2.27*10^6.
1. In this problem, you will practice adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing
numbers written in scientific notation. For each part, use the following numbers.
3.2*10^4 1.95*10^6 8.03*10^-8 2.56*10^-2 4.82*10^12
a. Choose two of the scientific numbers from the list and add them. Show your
