Step-by-step explanation:
(1.7x10^4) x (8.5x10^-2)
17000 × 0.085
= 1445
Total capacity the tower holds 1.034 x 10^5 gallons of water
One tower holds 8.4 x 10^3 gallons of water
Other tower holds 9.5 x 10^4 gallons of water
The combined water capacity of the two towers in scientific notation is,
Total capacity the tower holds = 9.5 x 10^4 + 8.4 x 10^3
= 9.5 x 10^4 + 0.84 x 10^4
= 10.34 x 10^4
= 1.034 x 10^5
