385,280,000,000

Answer 1

To find the total storage your phone would have after purchasing the additional bytes, we first need to add the two storage amounts together.

1. Initial storage: \( 1.28 \times 10^{11} \) bytes
2. Additional storage: \( 384,000,000,000 \) bytes, which can be expressed in scientific notation as \( 3.84 \times 10^{11} \) bytes.

Now, we can perform the addition:

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

Thus, if you buy the additional bytes, the total storage on your phone would be:

5.12×10^{11} bytes
