a mobile phone holds 1.28×10 to 11 bites of storage. You can also pay more money to get an additional 384,000,000,000 bytes how much storage would you Phone have? If you buy the additional bites the answer should be in scientific notation.

1 answer

To find the total storage of the mobile phone after purchasing the additional space, we need to add the current storage and the additional storage together in scientific notation.

  1. Current storage: \( 1.28 \times 10^{11} \) bytes
  2. Additional storage: \( 384,000,000,000 \) bytes

First, we convert the additional storage to scientific notation: \[ 384,000,000,000 = 3.84 \times 10^{11} \text{ bytes} \]

Now, we add the two amounts together: \[ 1.28 \times 10^{11} + 3.84 \times 10^{11} \]

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

Thus, the total storage of the phone, after purchasing the additional bytes, would be: \[ \boxed{5.12 \times 10^{11}} \text{ bytes} \]
