Answer

Yes, it makes sense.

Work Step by Step

The given figure \[1.04\times {{10}^{5}}\] is a finite number and mathematically possible. Consider on an average a book single page contains 250 words. Then the approximate number of pages that can be calculated as: \[\frac{1.04\times {{10}^{5}}}{250}=416\] The book has approximately 416 pages. As this is a realistic number, the statement makes sense. Hence the given statement makes sense.
