The combined volume of all the tanks at an aquarium is 1.25 X 106 gallons. The aquarium plans to install a new dolphin tank with a volume of 250,000 gallons. What will be the total volume of all of the tanks at the aquarium after the new dolphin tank is installed?

    1. The combined volume of all the tanks at the aquarium is written in Scientific notation. Keeping this on mind, you can write it as following:

    (1.25)(10^{6})=1,250,000gallons

    2. Now, you must sum the combined volume of all the tanks and the volume of  the new tank to calculate the total volume of all of them:Vt=1,250,000gallons+250,000gallons\\Vt= 1,500,000gallons

    3. Now, you can write the result in Scientific notation, as following:

    Vt=(1.5)(10^{6}) gallons

    The answer is: (1.5)(10^{6}) gallons
