A skyscraper has a mass of 2.2 x 10^5 tons. Another skyscraper in the same town has a mass of 3.7 x 10^5 tons. what is the combined mass, in tons, of the two skyscrapers? USe scientific notation to express your answer to 1 decimal place. (1 point)
To find the combined mass of the two skyscrapers, we need to add the masses of the two skyscrapers.
The first skyscraper has a mass of 2.2 x 10^5 tons.
The second skyscraper has a mass of 3.7 x 10^5 tons.
Adding these masses, we get:
(2.2 x 10^5) + (3.7 x 10^5) = 5.9 x 10^5 tons.
Therefore, the combined mass of the two skyscrapers is 5.9 x 10^5 tons.
