A sugar cube has a volume of about 4.9 ml. What is the total volume in milliliters of 1.5 x 10^6 sugar cubes?
1. 7.35 x 10^7 ml
2. 7.35 x 10^5 ml
3. 0.735 x 10^7 ml
4. 7.35 x 10^6 ml
To find the total volume of 1.5 x 10^6 sugar cubes, we need to multiply the volume of one sugar cube (4.9 ml) by the number of sugar cubes.
Volume of 1 sugar cube = 4.9 ml
Number of sugar cubes = 1.5 x 10^6
Total volume = Volume of 1 sugar cube x Number of sugar cubes
Total volume = 4.9 ml x 1.5 x 10^6
To multiply the numbers in scientific notation, we multiply the coefficients (4.9 x 1.5) and add the exponents of 10 (6 + 0).
Total volume = 7.35 x 10^6 ml
Therefore, the correct option is 4. 7.35 x 10^6 ml.
To find the total volume of 1.5 x 10^6 sugar cubes, we need to multiply the volume of one sugar cube (4.9 ml) by the number of sugar cubes.
First, let's convert 1.5 x 10^6 to standard form:
1.5 x 10^6 = 1,500,000
Now, multiply the volume of one sugar cube by the number of sugar cubes:
4.9 ml * 1,500,000 = 7,350,000 ml
So, the total volume of 1.5 x 10^6 sugar cubes is 7,350,000 ml, which can be written as option 4: 7.35 x 10^6 ml.
To find the total volume of 1.5 x 10^6 sugar cubes, you need to multiply the volume of one sugar cube (4.9 ml) by the number of cubes.
So, the calculation would be:
Total volume = Volume of one sugar cube * Number of sugar cubes
= 4.9 ml * 1.5 x 10^6
When multiplying numbers in scientific notation, you multiply the decimal parts and add the exponents. In this case, we have:
4.9 ml * 1.5 x 10^6 = 7.35 x 10^6 ml
Therefore, the correct answer is option 4: 7.35 x 10^6 ml.
