Answer:

Explanation:

The sum of (2.25 x 10^19) and (6.7 x 10^17) is (2.317 x 10^19).

To find the sum of these two numbers, we first need to line up the decimal points and add the numbers as we would with any other addition problem:

2.25 x 10^19

+ 6.7 x 10^17

Then, we can carry the 1 and add the numbers:

2.25 x 10^19

6.7 x 10^17

2.317 x 10^19

The sum of these two numbers is 2.317 x 10^19, which is equal to choice B.
