To find the total number of seconds in Jim's playlist, we need to multiply the number of songs (1,900) by the average time of each song (3.5 minutes), and then convert the result to seconds.
Number of songs: 1,900
Average time per song: 3.5 minutes
Total time = 1,900 * 3.5 minutes
To convert minutes to seconds, we multiply by 60, since there are 60 seconds in a minute:
Total time = 1,900 * 3.5 * 60 seconds
Multiplying these values together, we get:
Total time = 399,000 seconds
This is equivalent to 3.99 x 10^5 seconds.
Therefore, the answer is option 3. 3.99 x 10^5 seconds.
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 second the playlist will play. Express the answer to the exact decimal place.
1. 2.99 x 10^4 seconds
2. 3.99 x 10^3 seconds
3. 3.99 x 10^5 seconds
4. 0.399 x 10^6 seconds
