The total weights of the two animals is 11. 92 × 10² Ibs
How to determine the value
In order to determine the total weights, we take the following steps:
- Determine the weight of the animals
- Add the weight of the animals
The weight of the animals are given as;
- 5.12 x 102 lbs
- 6.8 x 102 lbs
Now, let's add the weights:
= 5. 12 × 10² + 6. 8 × 10²
Add the values
= 11. 92
It is important to note that the powers are similar and should be written as one
We then have the sum to be;
= 11. 92 × 10² Ibs
Thus, the total weights of the two animals is 11. 92 × 10² Ibs
