To find the weight of all the ants in the world, we need to multiply the average weight of an ant by the total number of ants.
Weight of one ant = 3 x 10^-6 kg
Total number of ants = x 10^16 ants
Weight of all ants = (3 x 10^-6 kg) * (x 10^16 ants)
To multiply the numbers, we add the exponents and keep the base as 10:
Weight of all ants = 3x * 10^(16-6) kg
Simplifying,
Weight of all ants = 3x * 10^10 kg
This is the weight of all the ants in the world, in scientific notation.
The weight of an ant averages about 3 x 10^-6 kg. There are about x 10^16 ants in the world. What is the approximate weight weight in kilograms of all the ants in the world? Write the answer in scientific Notation
