There are three petri dishes in a laboratory. The first one contains 22,340 cells, the second contains 43,560 cells, and the last dish contains 36,612 cells. Approximately how many cells are there in total?(1 point) Responses 1,000,000 1,000,000 100,000 100,000 10,000 10,000 150,000 help

1 answer

To find the approximate total number of cells in the three petri dishes, we can add the number of cells in each dish:

  • First dish: 22,340 cells
  • Second dish: 43,560 cells
  • Third dish: 36,612 cells

Now, let's add them:

22,340 + 43,560 + 36,612 = 102,512

The closest response to this total among the options provided is 100,000.
