Answer 2

CORRECT QUESTION

The weight of a honeybee is 1.2 × 10⁻¹ grams . The weight of the pollen collected by the bee on one trip is 6.0 × 10⁻² grams . What is the combined weight of the bee and the pollen?

ANSWER

The answer is 1.8 × 10⁻¹ grams

GIVEN

The weight of a honeybee is 1.2 × 10⁻¹ grams . The weight of the pollen collected by the bee on one trip is 6.0 × 10⁻² grams.

TO FIND

What is the combined weight of the bee and the pollen?

SOLUTION

We can simply solve the above problem as follows;

Given,

Weight of The honeybee = 1.2 × 10⁻¹ grams

We can also write it as; 1.2/10 = 0.12 grams

Weight of pollen collected = 6.0 × 10⁻² grams

We can also write it as; 6/100 = 0.06 grams

Total weight of honey bee and pollen = 0.12 + 0.06 = 0.18 grams

Writting it in standard form; 0.18 = 1.8 × 10⁻¹ grams

Hence, The answer is 1.8 × 10⁻¹ grams
