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 by the average time per song.

Total number of seconds = (1,900 songs) * (3.5 minutes/song) * (60 seconds/minute)

= 3,675,000 seconds

Now, let's express this number in scientific notation:

3,675,000 = 3.675 × 10^6

Therefore, the total number of seconds the playlist will play is approximately 3.675 × 10^6 seconds.
