The expression shown is:

\[
2.3 \cdot 10^8 + 4.7 \cdot 10^7
\]

To add these numbers in scientific notation, we need them to have the same exponent. 

1. Rewrite \(4.7 \cdot 10^7\) as \(0.47 \cdot 10^8\) so both numbers have the same base of \(10^8\).

Now the expression becomes:

\[
2.3 \cdot 10^8 + 0.47 \cdot 10^8 = (2.3 + 0.47) \cdot 10^8 = 2.77 \cdot 10^8
\]

So, the answer in scientific notation is:

\[
2.77 \cdot 10^8
\]
