Answer 1

Answer: They spend 5.368 × 10⁹ all together on ice cream and baby food between 2008 and 2009.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount spent on baby food between 2008 and 2009 =
`8.48* 10^8`

Amount spent on ice cream between 2008 and 2009 =
`4.52* 10^9`

We need to find the total amount spend all together on ice cream and baby food.

Total amount would be

`8.48* 10^8+4.52* 10^9\\\\=5.368* 10^9`

Hence, they spend 5.368 × 10⁹ all together on ice cream and baby food between 2008 and 2009.
