Approximately 8,912,000 monarch butterflies were at the site. By using powers of 10, I can conclude that doing 8,912 x 1000 would mean adding three zeros to 8,912, making 8,912,000. So, 8,912,000 would be the logical estimate.

Answer from: jpsaad00

The total number of the butterflies are $\fbox{\bf8912000}$ .

Further explanation:

Given:

The number of monarch butterflies on one branch of a tree at a site in Mexico are 8912 and the total number of butterflies at the site are 1000 times as large.

Calculation:

Consider, the number of the butterflies on one branch of a tree at a site in Mexico as and total number of butterflies as .

Since, the total numbers of butterflies at the site are 1000 times the number of the butterflies on one branch of a tree at a site in Mexico.

The total number of butterflies can be written as follows:

y=1000x …… (1)

Substitute 8912 for in equation (1).

$\begin{aligned}y&=1000\left( {8912}\right)\\&=8912000\\\end{aligned}$

Thus, the total numbers of the butterflies are $\fbox{\bf8912000}$ .
