Question

attendance this past season for the houston hexagons was $2.23×10^{6}$ and for the miami means it was $1.67×10^{5}$. find the combined attendance of these two teams. write your answer in scientific notation. provide a coefficient accurate to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

Step1: Make the exponents the same

Rewrite \(1.67\times10^{5}\) as \(0.167\times 10^{6}\).

Step2: Add the coefficients

\((2.23 + 0.167)\times10^{6}\)
\(=2.397\times10^{6}\)

Step3: Round the coefficient

Rounding \(2.397\) to the nearest hundredth gives \(2.40\).

Answer:

\(2.40\times 10^{6}\)
