Question

A scientist poured 1.6x 10 to the power of 3 ML of water into a container that already had 2.8x10 to the power of 4 ML of salt water and 9.4x 10 to the power of 3 ML of sugar water. how many ML of liquids were in the container?

Answer 1

The total volume of liquids in the container was 42,000 mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total volume of liquids in the container, we need to add up the volumes of water, salt water, and sugar water. The scientist poured 1.6x103 mL of water, 2.8x104 mL of salt water, and 9.4x103 mL of sugar water. Adding these volumes, we get:

1.6x103 mL + 2.8x104 mL + 9.4x103 mL = 4.2x104 mL

So, there were 42,000 mL of liquids in the container.
