I think the answer is 1339000 because i did 5.27 x 10^5) + (8.12 x 10^5 i added because the key word is combine making the answer 1339000 : scientific notation style 1.34 x 10^6

Answer:

[tex]=1.34\times10^{6}[/tex] gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The olympic size pool holds [tex]8.12\times 10^5[/tex] gallons of water

Smaller pool holds [tex]5.27\times 10^5[/tex].

To find: The combined capacity of the pools

Solution: The combined capacity of the pools is

[tex]8.12\times10^{5} +5.27\times10^{5}[/tex]

Taking [tex]10^{5}[/tex] common we get

[tex]=(8.12+5.27)10^{5}[/tex]

[tex]=13.39\times10^{5}[/tex]

[tex]=1.34\times10^{6}[/tex]

Hence, the combined capacity of the pools [tex]=1.34\times10^{6}[/tex] gallons.
