The Vega family has a 2 year phone contract that includes 1,000 minutes of talk time per month.
1000 minutes talk time for one month
we know , 2 years = 24 months
For 1 month = 1000 minutes
For 24 months = 24 * 1000= 24000 minutes
24000 can be written as [tex]24 * 10^3[/tex]
The total talk time the family gets to share during the 2 years is [tex]24 * 10^3[/tex]
