Question

One box of colored pencils has 9•10 to the power of 6 pencils . Another box has 10 to the power of 3 pencils. What is the total number of pencils in both boxes

Answer 1

the box with the colored pencils total is 540, and the box with the pencils is 1,000

here’s the step by step as well

(Colored Pencils)
9•10^6
10^6 = 60 • 9 = 540

(Pencils)
10^3 = 1,000

and if you’re getting the sum of both combined, it’s 1,540. hoped this helped!
