To find the number of gallons released into the ocean in one year, we can multiply the number of gallons released every second by the number of seconds in a year.
Number of gallons released every second = 5.5 * 10^7 gallons
Number of seconds in a year = 2.3 * 10^7 seconds
Number of gallons released in one year = (5.5 * 10^7 gallons/second) * (2.3 * 10^7 seconds)
= 12.65 * 10^14 gallons
Approximating the number of scientific digits, the answer is approximately 1.3 * 10^15 gallons.
The Amazon River releases 5.5 * 10 ^ 7 gallons of water into the Atlantic Ocean every second there are about 2.3 * 10 power of 7 seconds in a year how many gallons are released into the ocean in one year express your answer in with the approximate number of scientific digits
