The amounts of paper waste generated in a region during two years were 41,300,000 tons and 50,500,000 tons. What was the total paper waste generated over these two years in the region, expressed in scientific notation?
91.8 ⋅ 107 tons 91.8 ⋅ 1014 tons 9.18 ⋅ 1014 tons 9.18 ⋅ 107 tons
None of them are possible, because in scientif notation the number cannot be higher than 9.9 so the two 91.8 options can be trashed. the folowing does not not match to 41,300,000 + 50,500,000
