each day we purchase 1.7 thousand ice cream cones per minute. use the fact that there are approximately 5.3 times 10^5 minutes in a year to approximate how many ice cream cones are purchased in one year. write your answer in scientific notation.  

The answer to your question is:  9.01 x 10⁸ ice cream cones

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

# of ice cream cones = 1700

5.3 x 10 ⁵ minutes 1 year

# of ice cream cones purchased in one year = ?

                              1700  cones  1 min

                                 x                  5.3 x 10 ⁵ minutes

             x = (5.3 x 10 ⁵)(1700)/1 = 901 000 000 ice cream cones

In scientific notation

                                   9.01 x 10⁸ ice cream cones
