Jim's music library on his phone holds $1,900 songs the songs have an average time of 3.5 minutes use scientific notation to find the total number of seconds the playlist will play Express the answer to the exact decimal place

Answer 1

To find the total number of seconds the playlist will play, we need to multiply the number of songs (1900) by the average time per song (3.5 minutes) and then convert it to seconds.

First, we multiply the number of songs by the average time per song:

1900 songs * 3.5 minutes = 6650 minutes

Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, we need to convert the minutes to seconds:

6650 minutes * 60 seconds = 399,000 seconds

Therefore, the total number of seconds the playlist will play is 399,000 seconds.

Expressed in scientific notation, this is 3.99 × 10^5 seconds.
