Answer:
0.001225 kg/L × 720 000 000 L = 882000 kg
Explanation:
Given:
The equation to solve is given as:
0.001225 kg/L × 720 000 000 L = ?
Let us write each term of the product in terms of power of 10.
As 0.001225 has 6 digits after the decimal place, therefore, we use the exponent 6 for 10 and the sign is negative. This gives,
[tex]0.001225\ kg/L = 1225\times 10^{-6}\ kg/L[/tex]
Now, for 720000000 L there are 6 zeros after 720. So, we use exponent 6 but with a positive sign. This gives,
[tex]720000000\ L=720\times 10^{6}\ L[/tex]
Now, finding the product, we get:
[tex]0.001225\ kg/L\times 720000000\ L\\\\=1225\times 10^{-6}\ kg/L\times 720\times 10^6\ L\\\\=(1225\times 720)\times (10^6\times 10^{-6})\ (\frac{kg}{L}\times L)\\\\=882000\times 10^{6-6}\ kg\\\\=882000\times 10^0\ kg\\\\=882000\times 1\ kg\\\\=882000\ kg[/tex]
Therefore, the product is equal to:
0.001225 kg/L × 720 000 000 L = 882000 kg
