Answer:

The answer to your question is:  9.01 x 10⁸ ice cream cones

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

# of ice cream cones = 1700

5.3 x 10 ⁵ minutes ---------- 1 year

# of ice cream cones purchased in one year = ?

                              1700  cones ---------------------  1 min

                                 x                ----------------------  5.3 x 10 ⁵ minutes

             x = (5.3 x 10 ⁵)(1700)/1 = 901 000 000 ice cream cones

In scientific notation

                                   9.01 x 10⁸ ice cream cones
