To simplify the calculation, we will convert 15,300 into scientific notation.
15,300 = 1.53 x 10^4
Now, we can calculate the weight of the dump truck by multiplying the given weight by the scientific notation value:
(2.8 x 10^5) x (1.53 x 10^4)
To multiply two numbers in scientific notation, we multiply their coefficients and add their exponents:
= (2.8 x 1.53) x (10^5 x 10^4)
= 4.284 x 10^9
Therefore, the weight of the dump truck is 4.284 x 10^9 pounds.
15,300 = 1.53 x 10^4
