The amounts of e-waste generated in a region for 2 years were 14,200,000 tons and 10,700,000 tons. What was the total e-waste generated in the region for these 2 years, expressed in scientific notation? (5 points) A. 2.49 ⋅ 10^7 tons B. 2.49 ⋅ 10^14 tons

SophiaH4602:

I narrowed it down to these 2

justus:

The total is for these two years will be 14200000 + 10700000 24900000 We just need to convert that to scientific notation

SophiaH4602:

oh no that but can you help turn it into scientific notation

justus:

Which will be 2.49 x 10000000 or 2.49 x 10^7

SophiaH4602:

oh ok

justus:

Yep
