Answer: \(5.27\times10^{7}\) tons.
Step-by-step explanation:
The scientific notation is a method to write a very large or a very small number in the product of a decimal form of number [generally lies between 1 and 10] and powers of ten.
Given : The amounts of plastic waste generated in a region during two years were 32,400,000 tons and 20,300,000 tons.
Then the total amount of plastic waste generated in a region during two years is given by :-
\(32,400,000+20,300,000=52,700,000\)
In scientific notation , \(52,700,000=5.27\times10^{7}\)
Hence, the total plastic waste generated over these two years in the region = \(5.27\times10^{7}\) tons.
