Answer:
A. [tex]2\ x\ 10^5\ GT[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem we use scientific notation.
In this problem we can round the amount 225282 to
200 000
Then, quantity "200,000" has 5 zeros after the number 2.
This means that we can write this amount as:
2 x 100 000 = 2 x 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10. This is the same as:
[tex]2\ x\ 10^5[/tex]
This way of writing large numbers is known as scientific notation.
Therefore the correct answer is option A.
[tex]2\ x\ 10^5\ GT[/tex]
