A city has two water towers. One tower holds 4.37 x 106
gallons of water and the other holds 3.92 x 106
gallons of water. What is the combined water capacity of the two towers?
Responses
17.13 x 10^12 gallons
1.11 x 10^0 gallons
8.29 x 10^6 gallons
.45 x 10^12
The combined water capacity of the two towers can be found by adding the capacity of each tower:
4.37 x 10^6 gallons + 3.92 x 10^6 gallons = 8.29 x 10^6 gallons
Therefore, the correct answer is: 8.29 x 10^6 gallons.
