Respuesta :

Answer: 24000

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the 22 million by the 900 texts a month to get 24,444 then round to 24,000

The number of text messages teenagers in the United States send each month is 1.98 × 10^10

How to write in scientific notation

Given:

  • Total teenagers = 22 million

  • Number of text messages per month = 900

Total messages sent by teenagers per month = 22 million × 900

= 19,800,000,000

  • Decimal point should be after the first significant value from the left.

  • Count the number of digits remaining after the decimal point

= 1.98 × 10^10
