To add these two numbers, we need to first convert them to the same power of 10. Let's convert both numbers to the power of 10^6, as it is the larger power.
3.2x10^4 = 3.2x10^4 x 10^2 = 3.2x10^6
1.95x10^6 = 1.95x10^6
Now that both numbers are in the same power of 10^6, we can directly add them:
3.2x10^6 + 1.95x10^6 = (3.2 + 1.95)x10^6
= 5.15x10^6
Therefore, when adding 3.2x10^4 and 1.95x10^6, the sum is 5.15x10^6.
Choose two of the scientific numbers from the list and add them. Show your
