The Mississippi River flows at 16,790 cubic meters per second.

The Gulf of Mexico has an estimated volume of 2,434,000,000,000,000

Approximately how many seconds would it take for the Mississippi River to fill the volume of the Gulf of Mexico?

Please list your answer in scientific notation.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Time taken is [tex]1.45\times 10^8\textrm{ s}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volume of Gulf of Mexico, [tex]V=2434000000000000=2.434\times 10^{12}\textrm{ }m^3[/tex]

Flow rate of the Mississippi River, [tex]f=16790=1.679\times 10^4\textrm{ }m^{3}/s[/tex]

Now, time taken to fill the volume of Gulf of Mexico is given as:

[tex]Time=\frac{\textrm{Total volume}}{\textrm{Flow rate}}\\\\Time=\frac{2.434\times 10^{12}}{1.679\times 10^{4}}=1.45\times 10^{8}\textrm{ s}[/tex].

Therefore, the time by the Mississippi River to fill the volume of the Gulf of Mexico is [tex]1.45\times 10^8\textrm{ s}[/tex].
