3.2*10^4
To add 3.2*10^4 to 32.8, we can first convert 3.2*10^4 to standard form.
3.2*10^4 = 3.2 * 10000 = 32000
Now we can add 32000 to 32.8.
32000 + 32.8 = 32032.8
So, when we add 3.2*10^4 to 32.8, the result is 32032.8.
To add 3.2 x 10^4 to 32.8, follow these steps:
Step 1: Write down the number 32.8.
Step 2: Add the scientific notation to the number. In this case, add 3.2 x 10^4.
Step 3: Ignore the exponent (10^4) for now and add the decimal numbers directly. 32.8 + 3.2 = 36.
Step 4: Write down the new number after adding the decimal numbers: 36.
Step 5: Rewrite the exponent from the scientific notation: 10^4.
Step 6: Combine the number from step 4 and exponent from step 5 to form the final answer. The result is 36 x 10^4.
To add the scientific number 3.2 * 10^4 to 32.8, you first need to convert it to standard notation.
To do this, '3.2 * 10^4' means that you need to multiply 3.2 with 10 raised to the power of 4.
10 raised to the power of 4 is equal to 10,000 (since 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 = 10,000).
So, '3.2 * 10^4' can be written as 3.2 * 10,000.
Now, the addition can be done as follows:
32.8 + 3.2 * 10,000
= 32.8 + 32,000
= 32,032.8
Therefore, the result of adding 3.2 * 10^4 to 32.8 is 32,032.8.
