housing for the state? Express answer in scientific notation.

Answer 1

1.2×10¹⁰

Explanation:

Given that,

The population of the state = 2,000,000

Average Citizen spends on housing = 6000

We need to find the total spent on housing for the state.

Total spent on housing for state = Population of State × Average Citizen

Total spent = 2,000,000 × 6,000

= 1.2×10¹⁰

Hence, the total spent on housing for the state is 1.2×10¹⁰.
