Answer 2

Answer:

The combined weight of the bee and the pollen will be  $1.8\times 10^-^1$ g.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of the honeybee is  $1.2\times 10^-^1$ g and the weight of the pollen collected by the bee is  $6.0\times 10^-^2$ 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........

$1.2\times 10^-^1 = 1.2\times \frac{1}{10}=0.12\\ \\ \\ 6.0\times 10^-^2 = 6.0\times \frac{1}{100}= 0.06$

Now.......

$(1.2\times 10^-^1)+(6.0\times 10^-^2)\\ \\ =0.12+0.06\\ \\ =0.18 = 1.8\times 10^-^1$

Thus, the combined weight of the bee and the pollen will be  $1.8\times 10^-^1$ g.
