To find the approximate weight of all the ants in the world, we can multiply the weight of a single ant by the number of ants in the world.
Weight of a single ant = 3x10^-6 kg
Number of ants in the world = 1x10^16
Approximate weight of all ants in the world = (3x10^-6 kg) * (1x10^16 ants)
= 3x10^-6 * 1x10^16 kg
= 3x1 * 10^-6 * 10^16 kg
= 3x10^10 kg
Therefore, the approximate weight of all the ants in the world is 3x10^10 kg.
The weight of an ant averages about 3x10^-6 kg. There are about 1x10^16 ants in the world. What is the Approximate weight in kilograms of all the ants in the world? Write the answer in scientific notation.
