Let's choose 3.2 x 10^4 and 1.95 x 10^6.
To add these two numbers, we need to ensure that they have the same exponent. In this case, we can convert 3.2 x 10^4 to 3.2 x 10^6 to have the same exponent as 1.95 x 10^6.
So, 3.2 x 10^6 + 1.95 x 10^6 = (3.2 + 1.95) x 10^6 = 5.15 x 10^6.
Therefore, the sum of 3.2 x 10^4 and 1.95 x 10^6 is 5.15 x 10^6.
In this problem, you will practice added, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing numbers written in scientific notation. For each part, use the following numbers.
3.2 x 10^4, 1.95 x 10^6, 8.03 x 10^-8, 2.56 x 10^-2, 4.82 x 10^12
Choose two scientific numbers from the list and add them. Show your work.
