Question

A dripping faucet loses about 2.5×10^−4ters of water each minute. There are approximately 3×10^5 minutes in a month.

About how many liters of water are lost because of the dripping faucet in a month?



Drag and drop the values to the boxes to express the answer in scientific notation.
5 , 5.5, 7.5 , 8.3, 10^−20 ,​10^−9 , ​10^1 , 10²
× L

Answer 1

that would be
2.5 * 10^-4 * 3 * 10^5 = 7.5 * 10^1

Answer 2

2.5 x 10^-4 x 3 x 10^5

2.5 *3 = 7.5

10^-4 x 10^5 ( add the exponents: -4 + 5 =1) = 10^1

so 7.5 x 10^1
