The combined volume of all the tanks at an aquarium is 2.25 × 104
gallons. The aquarium plans to install a new dolphin tank with a volume of 350,000
gallons. What will be the total volume of all of the tanks at the aquarium after the new dolphin tank is installed?

The total volume of all the tanks at the aquarium after the new dolphin tank is installed will be 2.25 × 104 + 350,000 = 3.725 × 105 gallons.
So the correct response is: 3.725 × 105.
To find the total volume of all the tanks after the new dolphin tank is installed, you need to add the volume of the new dolphin tank to the current combined volume of all the tanks.
Given:
Combined volume of all tanks = 2.25 × 10^4 gallons
Volume of new dolphin tank = 350,000 gallons
To find the total volume of all the tanks, we add these two values:
2.25 × 10^4 + 350,000 = 375,000
Therefore, the total volume of all the tanks at the aquarium after the new dolphin tank is installed will be 375,000 gallons, or represented in scientific notation as 3.75 × 10^5 gallons.
So, the correct answer is 3.75 × 10^5.
To find out the total volume of all the tanks at the aquarium after the new dolphin tank is installed, we need to add the volume of the new dolphin tank to the combined volume of all the previous tanks.
The combined volume of all the tanks at the aquarium is 2.25 × 10^4 gallons.
The volume of the new dolphin tank is 350,000 gallons.
To find the total volume, we add these two values together:
2.25 × 10^4 + 350,000 = 352,250 gallons.
Therefore, the total volume of all the tanks at the aquarium after the new dolphin tank is installed is 352,250 gallons.
So, none of the given answer options are correct.
