What is the sum between of 6.3 x 10^4 and 2.41 x 10^4

1 answer

To find the sum of these two numbers, we can add their decimal parts separately, and then add their exponent parts.

The decimal parts:
6.3 + 2.41 = 8.71

The exponent parts:
10^4 + 10^4 = 10^4 (since they have the same exponent, we can just keep it as is)

Therefore, the sum is 8.71 x 10^4.
