Question

Each day people in a certain country purchase `3.2xx10^7` cans of beans. How many cans of beans are purchased in one​ year?

Answer 1

In one year the number of cans purchased would be: `1.2xx10^10cans.`

Explanation:

Each day people buy `3.2xx10^7` cans of beans.

That is `32,000,000` cans of beans per day.

So in one year the number of cans purchased would be:

`(3.2xx10^7cans)/cancel(day)xx365cancel(days)=1168xx10^7cans`

This will round off to: `(1.168xx10^3)xx10^7cans=1.2xx10^10cans.`

That is `12,000,000,000` cans of beans per year.
