A. 3.456^14 B. 3.456 × 10^6 C. 3.456 × 10^14 D. 3.456 × 10^ -14

Answer 1

Answer: C

Explanation:

1) First multiply 4 * 10^6 = 4,000,000

Then multiply 4,000,000 by 86,400 = 3.456 * 10^11

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

The river discharges 4 x 10^6 cubic feet of water into the Pacific Ocean each second.

There are 86,400 seconds in one day.

Amount of water discharges each day-

=345600000000

=3.456 x 10 ^11
