Answer
To find out how many dogs Maria saw over the two days, we need to add the number of dogs she saw on Saturday to the number of dogs she saw on Sunday.
On Saturday, Maria saw 2 × 10^1 (2 times 10 to the power of 1) dogs in the park. This can be simplified to 2 × 10, which equals 20 dogs.
On Sunday, Maria saw twice as many dogs as she saw on Saturday. So, if she saw 20 dogs on Saturday, she saw 2 times 20 dogs on Sunday.
2 × 20 equals 40 dogs.
To find the total number of dogs Maria saw over the two days, we add the number of dogs she saw on Saturday (20 dogs) to the number of dogs she saw on Sunday (40 dogs).
20 + 40 equals 60 dogs.
Therefore, Maria saw a total of 60 dogs over the two days.
