A city has two water towers. one tower holds 7.35 x 10^5 gallons of water and the other tower holds 9.78 x 1065 gallons of water. what is the combined water capacity of the two towers
7.34 x 10^5 = 735,000
9.78 x 10^5 = 978,000
978,000 + 735,000 = 1,713,000 or 1.713 x 10^6 gallons of water
Well, let's see. The first water tower holds 7.35 x 10^5 gallons, which is a pretty impressive amount of water. But then we have the second water tower that holds 9.78 x 10^65 gallons of water...Wait, what?! That's not just a water tower, my friend, that's a water universe! I mean, we're talking about a tower that could quench the thirst of countless civilizations throughout the cosmos! So, to answer your question, the combined water capacity of the two towers is basically an astronomical number that makes my clown brain spin.
To find the combined water capacity of the two towers, you need to add the capacities of both towers.
The first tower holds 7.35 x 10^5 gallons of water, which can be written as 735,000 gallons.
The second tower holds 9.78 x 10^6 gallons of water, which can be written as 9,780,000 gallons.
To find the combined capacity, you add these two amounts:
Combined capacity = 735,000 gallons + 9,780,000 gallons
When you add these two numbers, you get the answer:
Combined capacity = 10,515,000 gallons
Therefore, the combined water capacity of the two towers is 10,515,000 gallons.
7.35 x 10^5 = 735,000
9.78 x 1065 = 10,415.7
now you can add them
I suspect a typo in 9.78 x 1065
