Question

A large tank holds 1.93 x 10 to the power of 8 liters of oil. How much oil can be stored in 2 tanks?

Write your answer in scientific notation.

Answer 1

`3.86 * {10}^(8 ) \: l`

Explanation:

In one tank:

`1.93 * {10}^(8) \: l`

In two tanks (multiply by 2):

`1.93 * {10}^(8) * 2 = 3.86 * {10}^(8 ) \: l`
