Q. hips\newlineEnter the total weight of the ship ( 48500004850000 kilograms) using the weights shown in the diagram.\newlineWrite your answer using multiples of powers of 1010 .
  1. Identify Total Weight: Identify the total weight of the ship which is 4,850,0004,850,000 kilograms.
  2. Break Down Weight: Break down the weight into powers of 1010. We start with the largest power of 1010 that fits into 4,850,0004,850,000.
  3. Express in Powers of 1010: 4,000,0004,000,000 can be written as 4×1064 \times 10^6 because 44 times 1010 to the power of 66 equals 4,000,0004,000,000.
  4. Add Parts Together: 850,000850,000 can be written as 8.5×1058.5 \times 10^5 because 8.58.5 times 1010 to the power of 55 equals 850,000850,000.
  5. Express as Multiple of Power: Add the two parts together: 4×106+8.5×1054 \times 10^6 + 8.5 \times 10^5.
  6. Express as Multiple of Power: Add the two parts together: 4×106+8.5×1054 \times 10^6 + 8.5 \times 10^5. Realize that 8.5×1058.5 \times 10^5 is not a multiple of a power of 1010. We need to express it as such.
