32.8 + 3.2 x 10^4 =
i got .00328 + 3.2 = 3.20328 x 10^4 but what is your answer
My answer is 3.20328 x 10^4.
To correctly solve the expression 32.8 + 3.2 x 10^4, we need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS). According to the order of operations, we first perform the multiplication, and then the addition. Here's the step-by-step solution:
Step 1: Multiply 3.2 with 10^4
3.2 x 10^4 = 32,000
Step 2: Add 32.8 with the result from step 1
32.8 + 32,000 = 32,032.8
Therefore, the answer is 32,032.8.
To calculate 32.8 + 3.2 x 10^4, we need to follow the order of operations, which states that multiplication should be performed before addition. Here's how to get the answer step by step:
Step 1: Evaluate the multiplication.
3.2 x 10^4 = 32,000 (since multiplying by 10^4 shifts the decimal point 4 places to the right)
Step 2: Add the result of the multiplication to 32.8.
32.8 + 32,000 = 32,032.8
So, the answer to 32.8 + 3.2 x 10^4 is 32,032.8.
how, for me:
convert 32.8 to notation, so u get 3.28 x 10^1
3.28 becomes .00328 becus u move decimal amount of times u need to increase exponent to greater one- 4
Apologies for the confusion. Let's revisit the steps to solve the expression correctly:
Step 1: Convert 32.8 to scientific notation.
32.8 = 3.28 x 10^1 (since moving the decimal point one place to the left, we increase the exponent by 1)
Step 2: Multiply 3.28 x 10^1 by 3.2 x 10^4, following the rules of multiplying numbers in scientific notation.
(3.28 x 10^1) x (3.2 x 10^4) = (3.28 x 3.2) x (10^1 x 10^4) = 10.496 x 10^5
Step 3: Simplify the result from step 2.
10.496 x 10^5 = 1.0496 x 10^6 (since multiplying 10.496 by 10 gives 104.96, and moving the decimal point one place to the left, we increase the exponent by 1)
Thus, the correct answer is 1.0496 x 10^6.
