What is the sum of 6.3×10^3 and 2.41×10^4? Use scientific notation to express your answer

Answer 1

To add numbers in scientific notation, their exponents must be the same. In this case, we need to convert 6.3×10^3 to the same exponent as 2.41×10^4.

To do this, we can rewrite 6.3×10^3 as 0.63×10^4.

Now we can add the numbers:

0.63×10^4 + 2.41×10^4 = 3.04×10^4

Therefore, the sum of 6.3×10^3 and 2.41×10^4 is 3.04×10^4.
