Last year a large trucking company delivered about 08 million tons of goods at an average value of $25100 per ton What was the total value of goods delivered Express your answer in scientific notation
Step 1 Write numbers in scientific notation
1 million =1000000 10508 million = 800000 = 8 X
104
25100 = 251 x
Step 2 Write the problem to be solved
Describe the problem with smaller numbers to help you determine which operation to use
Suppose the problem is about delivering 2 truckloads of goods worth $500 each 2 truckloads at $500 each = 2 x $500 = $1000 Use multiplication to solve this problem (8 x 105
) x (251 X 104)
Step 3 Use what you know about exponents to compute (8 x 10~ x (251 X 104
) = (8 x 251) x (105 x 104)
10 9 = 2008 X
This number is not in scientific notation since the number in front of the decimal is greater than nine 2008 x 10 9 = 2008 X 1010
Step 4 Answer the question
The trucking company delivered goods worth $2008 x 1010
