A pool was filled with 8.2 times 10 Superscript 3 gallons from one hose and 9.4 times 10 Superscript 3 gallons from another hose.
What is the total amount of water in the pool? Express the answer in scientific notation.
1.76 times 10 Superscript 2 gallons
17.6 times 10 Superscript 2 gallons
17.6 times 10 Superscript 3 gallons
1.76 times 10 Superscript 4 gallons
The total amount of water in the pool can be calculated by adding the amount of water from each hose:
8.2 x 10^3 gallons + 9.4 x 10^3 gallons = 17.6 x 10^3 gallons
Therefore, the total amount of water in the pool is 17.6 x 10^3 gallons, which is equivalent to 1.76 x 10^4 gallons in scientific notation.
So, the correct answer is 1.76 times 10^4 gallons.
