What is the sum of 6.3 x 10^3 and 2.41 x 10^4? Use sciencetific notation to express your answer

Answer 1

To add these two numbers in scientific notation, we first need to ensure that they have the same exponent.

Rewriting 6.3 x 10^3 as 0.63 x 10^4, we can now perform the addition:

0.63 x 10^4 + 2.41 x 10^4 = 3.04 x 10^4

So, the sum of 6.3 x 10^3 and 2.41 x 10^4 is 3.04 x 10^4.
