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 should be in scientific notation.(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the total storage after buying the additional bytes, you will need to add the two amounts of storage together.

The current storage of the phone is: \(1.28 \times 10^{11}\) bytes

The additional storage you can buy is: \(384,000,000,000\) bytes, which can be expressed in scientific notation as: \(3.84 \times 10^{11}\) bytes

Now, we can add the two amounts together:

\[ 1.28 \times 10^{11} + 3.84 \times 10^{11} = (1.28 + 3.84) \times 10^{11} = 5.12 \times 10^{11} \text{ bytes} \]

Thus, if you buy the additional bytes, your phone would have:

\[ \text{Total storage} = 5.12 \times 10^{11} \text{ bytes} \]
