A mobile phone holds 1.28 x 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 point)

Question

385.28 x 1011
5.12 x 1011
385,280,000,000
512 x 109

Answer 1

To find out how much storage your phone would have if you buy the additional bytes, you simply need to add the two amounts of storage together.

1. The original storage of the phone is:
   \(1.28 \times 10^{11}\) bytes

2. The additional storage is:
   \(384,000,000,000\) bytes, which can be expressed in scientific notation as:
   \(3.84 \times 10^{11}\) bytes

Now, add the two amounts of storage:

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

Thus, if you buy the additional bytes, your phone would have:

\[ \boxed{5.12 \times 10^{11}} \]
