A TV show had 3.5 × 10^6 viewers for their first episode and 8.5 × 10^6 viewers for their second episode.

How many viewers did they have overall?

1 answer

To find the total number of viewers for both episodes, we need to add the number of viewers for each episode:

3.5 × 10^6 + 8.5 × 10^6 = 12 × 10^6 viewers

Now, let's simplify the expression:

12 × 10^6 = 12,000,000

Therefore, the TV show had a total of 12,000,000 viewers overall.
