Question

A worker bee has a mass of 2 x 10^-4 kilograms. There are

8 x 10^4worker bees living in one hive. What is the mass
of all the worker bees in the hive together?

Answer 1

To find the total mass of all the worker bees in the hive, you need to multiply the mass of a single worker bee by the number of worker bees in the hive.

The mass of a single worker bee is 2 x 10^-4 kilograms, and there are 8 x 10^4 worker bees in the hive.

So the total mass of all the worker bees in the hive is (2 x 10^-4 kilograms) * (8 x 10^4 worker bees) = 0.16 kilograms.

In standard form, this is written as 1.6 x 10^-1 kilograms.
