To find the approximate total weight of all the babies born in the US in a year, we multiply the average weight of a newborn (7.5 pounds) by the total number of babies born (4.1×10^6).

7.5 pounds/baby * 4.1×10^6 babies = 30.75×10^6 pounds

In scientific notation expressed to the exact decimal place, the approximate total weight is 3.075×10^7 pounds.
