Question 750539: please put this word problem into formula to solve for scientific notation.
During feeding season, gray whales eat 3.4 x 10^5 lbs of food per day. If the feeding period lasts for 140 days. How many lbs of food total will a gray whale consume? Answer by Edwin McCravy(20060) (Show Source):
140 times (3.4 x 105)
Change 140 to scientific notation:
1.40×102
(1.40×102·(3.4×105)
Multiply the 1.40 by the 3.4, get 4.76.
Add the exponents of 10, get 2+5 or 7.
4.76×107 pounds
