Answer: The weight of the adult panda = [tex]2.664\times10^{4}[/tex]pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The weight of a newborn baby panda = [tex]2.2\times10^1[/tex] pounds
According to the question , we have
The weight of adult Panda = [tex]1.2\times10^3\times\text{weight of a newborn baby panda }[/tex]
= [tex]1.2\times10^3\times2.2\times10^1[/tex] pounds
= [tex]1.2\times2.2\times10^3\times10^3[/tex] pounds
= [tex]2.664\times10^{3+1}[/tex] pounds [[tex]\because\ a^m\timesa^n = a^{m+n}[/tex]]
= [tex]2.664\times10^{4}[/tex]pounds
Hence, the weight of the adult panda = [tex]2.664\times10^{4}[/tex]pounds
