Jim’s music library on his phone holds 1,900 songs. The songs have an average time of 3.5 minutes. Use scientific notation to find the total number of seconds the playlist will play. Express the answer to the exact decimal place.(1 point)
To find the total number of seconds the playlist will play, we need to multiply the total number of songs by the average time per song.
Total number of songs = 1,900
Average time per song = 3.5 minutes
To convert minutes to seconds, we multiply by 60 since there are 60 seconds in a minute.
Therefore, the total number of seconds the playlist will play is:
1,900 songs * 3.5 minutes/song * 60 seconds/minute = 399,000 seconds.
Expressing this in scientific notation gives us:
3.99 x 10^5 seconds.
