An apartment building is infested with 6.2 X 10 ratsOn average, each of these rats produces 5.5 X 10' offspring each year. Assuming no rats leave or die, how many additional
rats will live in this building one year from now? Write your answer in standard form.

3.41x10^3

Step-by-step explanation:

At the beginning of the year, we have:

R = 6.2x10 rats.

And we know that, in one year, each rat produces:

O = 5.5x10 offsprins.

Then each one of the 6.2x10 initial rats will produce 5.5x10 offsprings in one year, then after one year we have a total of:

(6.2x10)*(5.5x10) = (6.2*5.5)x(10*10) = 34.1x10^2

and we can write:

34.1 = 3.41x10

then: 34.1x10^2 = 3.41x10^3

So after one year, the average number of rats is:  3.41x10^3

600,000,000,000, or 6e14
