Approximately 7.5x10⁵ gallons of water flow over a waterfall each second. There are 8.6x10⁴ seconds in 1 day. Select the approximate number of gallons of water that flow over the waterfall in 1 day.

Correct answer:

x =  64500000000

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=7.5\cdot 10^5=750000\text{ g/s } \\ b=8.6\cdot 10^4=86000\text{ s } \\ x=a\cdot b=750000\cdot 86000=64500000000=6.450\cdot 10^{10} \end{gathered}$$
