Answer:
To calculate the total milk yield in one year, we need to multiply the number of dairy cows by the amount of milk each cow produces per year:
Total milk yield = 2650 dairy cows × 2320 gallons of milk per cow per year
Total milk yield = 6,188,000 gallons per year
To write this answer in scientific notation, we need to express the number 6,188,000 as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10. We can do this by moving the decimal point to the left until we have a number between 1 and 10, and counting the number of decimal places we moved. In this case, we need to move the decimal point 6 places to the left:
Total milk yield = 6.188 × 10^6 gallons per year
Therefore, the dairy farm yields 6.188 × 10^6 gallons of milk per year.
