32,400,000 + 20,300,000 = 5.27x10^7 tons

Answer:

5.27 X 10^7

Step-by-step explanation:

You will need to add 32,400,000 to 20,300,000, you will get 52,700,000 which we put in scientific notation where we move the decimal 7 places to the left until we get 5.27 X 10^7

Hope that helped you get your answer! :-)
