A mobile phone holds 1.28×1011 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 answer

To find the total storage capacity of the phone when buying the additional bytes, we need to add the amount of additional bytes to the initial storage capacity.

Initial storage capacity: 1.28×10^11 bytes
Additional bytes: 384,000,000,000 bytes

Total storage capacity = Initial storage capacity + Additional bytes

Total storage capacity = 1.28×10^11 bytes + 3.84×10^11 bytes

= (1.28 + 3.84) × 10^11 bytes

= 5.12 × 10^11 bytes

Therefore, the phone would have a total storage capacity of 5.12×10^11 bytes if you buy the additional bytes.
