which is the closest to (4*10^5) +(3*10^3)?A. 7.0*10^8B. 7.0*10^5C. 4.0*10^8D. 4.0*10^5

The given expression is as shown above.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4\times10^5+3\times10^3 \\ =4\times10^5+0.03\times10^5 \end{gathered}[/tex]Using the distributive property, it follows that the expression becomes:
[tex]\begin{gathered} =(4+0.03)\times10^5 \\ =4.03\times10^5 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the value of the expression is approximately 4.0 × 10⁵
