A mobile phone holds 1.28 * 10 ^ 11 bytes of storage. You can also pay more money to get an additional 384,000,000,000 bytes. How much storage would your phone have if you buy the additional bytes? The answer be in scientific notation (1 point)

1 answer

To find the total storage of the phone after purchasing the additional bytes, we need to add the original storage capacity and the additional bytes:

1.28 * 10^11 bytes + 384,000,000,000 bytes

To simplify the calculation, we can convert both quantities to scientific notation:

1.28 * 10^11 bytes = 1.28e11 bytes
384,000,000,000 bytes = 3.84e11 bytes

Now we can add these values:

1.28e11 bytes + 3.84e11 bytes = 5.12e11 bytes

Therefore, the phone would have 5.12 * 10^11 bytes of storage if the additional bytes are purchased.
