Answer 1

To solve the problem \((3.71×10^5)+(4.65×10^7)\) in scientific notation, we can fill in the blanks as follows:

Step 1: Subtract 2 from the exponent 7 (to get the exponents the same for adding in Scientific Notation).

Step 2: Change 4.65 to 465 (to change the coefficient on the term that the exponent was changed).

Step 3: Add the coefficients (the coefficients).

Step 4: Keep the same exponents to simplify (to simplify).

Step 5: The final answer is \(4.681×10^7\) (is the final answer in Scientific Notation).

So the completed steps are:

Step 1: Subtract 2 from the exponent 7
Step 2: Change 4.65 to 465
Step 3: Add the coefficients
Step 4: Keep the same exponents to simplify
Step 5: The final answer is \(4.681×10^7\) in Scientific Notation.
