3.2*10to the power of 4 and add it to 32.8 show your work

Answer 1

To add \(3.2 \times 10^4\) and \(32.8\), we'll first express \(3.2 \times 10^4\) in standard decimal form.

1. Convert \(3.2 \times 10^4\) to decimal:

   \[ 3.2 \times 10^4 = 3.2 \times 10000 = 32000 \]

2. Now add \(32000\) and \(32.8\):

   \[ 32000 + 32.8 = 32000 + 32.8 = 32032.8 \]

Thus, the final result of adding \(3.2 \times 10^4\) and \(32.8\) is:

\[ \boxed{32032.8} \]
