To find the total gallons of water used in the park after the new ride is installed, we add the current total gallons of water (6.7*10^5) to the additional water used by the new ride (2.7*10^4):
6.7*10^5 + 2.7*10^4 = 6.7*10^5 + 0.27*10^5
= 6.97*10^5 gallons
Therefore, the total gallons of water used in the park after the new ride is installed is 6.97*10^5 gallons.
A water park has pools, slides, and rides that, in total, make use of 6.7*10^5 gallons of water. They plan to add a ride that would make use of an additional 2.7*10^4 gallons of water. Use scientific notation to express the total gallons of water made use of in the park after the new ride is installed.
