The US postal service delivered 7.14 x 1010 pieces of mail in the month of December and 3.21 x 1010 in the month of January. What is the total mail delivered for these two months?
I assume that the numbers are supposed to be written as 7.14 x 10^10 for December and 3.21 x 10^10. The total mail delivered is the sum of these two numbers. (7.14 x 10^10) + (3.21 x 10^10) = 1.035 x 10^11
