A city has two water towers. One tower holds 7.35×105 gallons of water. The other holds 9.78×105 gallons of water. What is the combined water capacity in Scientific Notation?(1 point)Responses2.43×1052 point 4 3 times 10 to the 5th power1.713×1061 point 7 1 3 times 10 to the 6th power7.1883×10267 point 1 8 8 3 times 10 to the 26th power7.1883×10117 point 1 8 8 3 times 10 to the 11th power
1.713×106
To find the combined water capacity, add the two amounts of water together:
7.35×10^5 + 9.78×10^5 = 17.13×10^5
To put this in scientific notation, move the decimal point one place to the left and adjust the exponent:
1.713×10^6
