Solve (8.6*10^-4)+(3.5*10^-5)=

$$( 8.6 \times 10 ^ { - 4 } ) + ( 3.5 \times 10 ^ { - 5 } ) =$$

Evaluate

$$0.000895$$

Solution Steps

Calculate 10 to the power of -4 and get \frac{1}{10000}.

$$8.6\times \frac{1}{10000}+3.5\times 10^{-5}$$

Multiply 8.6 and \frac{1}{10000} to get \frac{43}{50000}.

$$\frac{43}{50000}+3.5\times 10^{-5}$$

Calculate 10 to the power of -5 and get \frac{1}{100000}.

$$\frac{43}{50000}+3.5\times \frac{1}{100000}$$

Multiply 3.5 and \frac{1}{100000} to get \frac{7}{200000}.

$$\frac{43}{50000}+\frac{7}{200000}$$

Add \frac{43}{50000} and \frac{7}{200000} to get \frac{179}{200000}.

$$\frac{179}{200000}$$

Factor

$$\frac{179}{2 ^ {6} \cdot 5 ^ {5}} = 0.000895$$
