Explanation:
To add these two numbers, we simply add their corresponding place values:
(5.87 x 10^7) + (2.7 x 10^6)
To align the numbers correctly, we need to adjust the second number:
(5.87 x 10^7) + (0.27 x 10^7)
Now, we can add the numbers:
(5.87 + 0.27) x 10^7
= 6.14 x 10^7
Therefore, (5.87 x 10^7) + (2.7 x 10^6) equals 6.14 x 10^7.
