A sugar cube has a volume of about 4.9 ml. What is the total volume in milliliters of 1.5 × 10⁶ sugar cubes?
A. 7.35 × 10⁵ ml
B. 7.35 × 10⁷ ml
C. 7.35 × 10⁶ ml
D. 0.735 × 10⁷ ml
The total volume of 1 sugar cube is 4.9 ml.
Therefore, the total volume of 1.5 × 10⁶ sugar cubes is (4.9 ml) * (1.5 × 10⁶ sugar cubes) = 7.35 × 10⁶ ml.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 7.35 × 10⁶ ml.
To find the total volume in milliliters of 1.5 × 10⁶ sugar cubes, we need to multiply the volume of one sugar cube by the number of sugar cubes.
The volume of one sugar cube is 4.9 ml.
To find the total volume, we multiply the volume of one sugar cube by the number of sugar cubes:
Total volume = 4.9 ml × 1.5 × 10⁶
To multiply a number by a power of 10, we can simply move the decimal point to the right by the exponent value. In this case, the exponent is 6.
Total volume = 4.9 × 1.5 × 10⁶ ml
Multiplying 4.9 by 1.5 gives us 7.35.
Therefore, the total volume in milliliters of 1.5 × 10⁶ sugar cubes is 7.35 × 10⁶ ml.
So, the correct answer is C. 7.35 × 10⁶ ml.
To find the total volume in milliliters of 1.5 × 10⁶ sugar cubes, you need to multiply the volume of one sugar cube (4.9 ml) by the number of sugar cubes (1.5 × 10⁶).
First, multiply 4.9 ml by 1.5 to get the total volume in milliliters of 1.5 × 10⁶ sugar cubes:
4.9 ml * 1.5 = 7.35 ml
Since the number of sugar cubes is given in scientific notation (1.5 × 10⁶), the answer should also be in scientific notation. To convert 7.35 ml to scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point two places to the right and adjust the exponent accordingly:
7.35 ml = 7.35 × 10⁶ ml
So, the total volume in milliliters of 1.5 × 10⁶ sugar cubes is 7.35 × 10⁶ ml.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 7.35 × 10⁶ ml.
