Question

Researchers counter 8,912 monarch butterflies on one branch of the tree at a site in Mexico . They estimated that the total number of butterflies at the site was 1,000 times as large . About how many butterflies were at the site in all ?

Answer 1

8,912,000

Explanation:

Realistically, 8912 butterflies doesn't fit on a tree branch, but if there is 8912 butterflies on one branch, and in the site there are 1000 times more. So we are doing 8192*1000, the * is a multiplication symbol, so the answer is 8912000
