To find the weight of all the ants in the world, we can multiply the weight of one ant (3×10^-6 kg) by the number of ants (1×10^16):
3×10^-6 kg * 1×10^16 ants = 3×10^-6 * 1×10^16 = 3×1 = 3 kg.
Therefore, the approximate weight of all the ants in the world is 3 kilograms.
The weight of an ant averages about 3×10^−6 kg. There are about 1×10^16 ants in the world. What is the approximate weight in kilograms of all the ants in the world? Write the answer in scientific notation.(1 point)
