Ariver discharges 4 × 106 cubic feet of water into the pacific ocean each second. there are 86,400 seconds in one day. to find the amount of water discharged each day, a scientist multiplied 4 × 106 by 86,400 on his calculator. the display showed:

explain what 3.456e + 14 means.

Total volume of the water discharged by the river into the Pacific daily.

Step-by-step explanation:

3.456E + 14 represents the volume of the water discharged daily into the Pacific.  That should be written with units:  3.456E + 14 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Now, to find the amount of water discharged each day, we just need to multiply

Actually, the number 3.456E + 14 doesn't mean anything here exactly, because the result is , that is, this is the right amount of water discharged each day, that's what actually means such number.
