The problem asks to express the total amount of water used in a water park, both currently and after adding an additional ride, in scientific notation.

### Given:
- Current water use: \( 6.7 \times 10^5 \) gallons.
- Additional water for the new ride: \( 2.7 \times 10^4 \) gallons.

### Step-by-step solution:

1. Convert both quantities into the same power of ten:
   - \( 6.7 \times 10^5 \) is already expressed as \( 6.7 \times 10^5 \).
   - \( 2.7 \times 10^4 \) can be written as \( 0.27 \times 10^5 \).

2. Add both values:
   \[
   6.7 \times 10^5 + 0.27 \times 10^5 = (6.7 + 0.27) \times 10^5 = 6.97 \times 10^5
   \]

Thus, the total amount of water used after the new ride is installed is \( \mathbf{6.97 \times 10^5} \) gallons.

A water park has pools, slides, and rides that, in total, make use of 6.7 × 10^5 gallons of water. They plan to add a ride that would make use of an additional 2.7 × 10^4 gallons of water. Use scientific notation to express the total gallons of water made use of in the park after the new ride is installed.

Solve a scientific notation problem that involves adding the water volume used at a water park. The total water in use, 6.7 × 10^5 gallons, increases by 2.7 × 10^4 gallons due to a new ride. Learn how to express the total in scientific notation using step-by-step addition.
