Question

On average, a commercial airplane burns about 3.9 × 10³ mL of gasoline per second. There can be as many as 5.1 × 10³ airplanes in the air in the United States at any given time.

About how many milliliters of gasoline are burned per minute by commercial airplanes in flight in the United States?

1.2 x 10^( )mL
So 1.2 x 10 to what power?

Answer 6

Twice as many commercial aircraft burn twice as much gasoline, so we need to multiply how much 1 airplane uses by the amount of airplanes in the sky. In this case, the problem tells us this is 5.0 x 10^3.

(3.9 x 10^3) x (5.1 * 10^3) = 20.0 * 10^6, which equals 2.0 * 10^7 mL/sec.
^^^ This answer is rounded...

We may appear to be done here, but we need to be careful; the problem is asking us how much is burnt every MINUTE, not every second. A minute contains 60 seconds, so that means 60 times as much gasoline is burnt. 60 x (2.0 * 10^7) = 120.0 * 10^7, which equals 1.2 * 10^9 by scientific notation. Thus our answer is 1.2 * 10^9 mL/min of gasoline.
