To find the total number of seconds, we need to multiply the number of songs by the average time of each song in minutes.
Number of songs = 1,900
Average time of each song = 3.5 minutes
Total time in minutes = Number of songs x Average time of each song
= 1,900 x 3.5
= 6,650 minutes
To convert this to seconds, we need to multiply the total time in minutes by 60, as there are 60 seconds in a minute.
Total time in seconds = Total time in minutes x 60
= 6,650 x 60
= 399,000 seconds
Using scientific notation, the total number of seconds the playlist will play is 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 seconds the playlist will play. Express the answer to the exact decimal place.
