Answer:
The combined weight of the bee and the pollen will be [tex]1.8\times 10^-^1[/tex] g.
Step-by-step explanation:
The weight of the honeybee is [tex]1.2\times 10^-^1[/tex] g and the weight of the pollen collected by the bee is [tex]6.0\times 10^-^2[/tex] g.
For finding the combined weight, we just need to add those two numbers.
First we will convert each scientific notation as decimal numbers. So........
[tex]1.2\times 10^-^1 = 1.2\times \frac{1}{10}=0.12\\ \\ \\ 6.0\times 10^-^2 = 6.0\times \frac{1}{100}= 0.06[/tex]
Now.......
[tex](1.2\times 10^-^1)+(6.0\times 10^-^2)\\ \\ =0.12+0.06\\ \\ =0.18 = 1.8\times 10^-^1[/tex]
Thus, the combined weight of the bee and the pollen will be [tex]1.8\times 10^-^1[/tex] g.
