A mobile phone holds 1.28 × 10^(5) bytes of storage. You can also pay more money to get an additional 384,000,000,000 bytes. How much storage would your phone have if you buy the additional bytes? The answer should be in scientific notation.
5.12 x 10^(11)
512 x 10^(9)
385.28 x 10^(11)
385,280,000,000
To calculate the total storage of your phone after purchasing the additional bytes, you add the initial storage of 1.28 × 10^(5) bytes to the additional 384,000,000,000 bytes.
1.28 × 10^(5) bytes + 384,000,000,000 bytes = 384,000,001,280,000,000 bytes
To express this value in scientific notation, we divide it by 10^(11) to move the decimal point 11 places to the left:
384,000,001,280,000,000 bytes = 3.84 × 10^(14) bytes
Therefore, the phone would have 3.84 × 10^(14) bytes of storage if you buy the additional bytes.
