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 scientific notation.

1 answer

To get the total storage capacity of the phone after buying the additional bytes, we need to add the additional bytes to the initial storage capacity.

The additional bytes can be represented in scientific notation as 3.84 x 10^11 (since 384,000,000,000 can be written as 3.84 x 10^11 in scientific notation).

So, the total storage capacity of the phone after buying the additional bytes would be:
1.28 x 10^11 + 3.84 x 10^11 = (1.28 + 3.84) x 10^11 = 5.12 x 10^11 bytes.

Therefore, the phone would have 5.12 x 10^11 bytes of storage if you buy the additional bytes.
