How do you write 18,000,000,000 in scientific notation?

1 Answer

1.8*10^10

Explanation:

  1. Count the zeros: 9
    => 18*10^9
  2. Usually is written in form: ( 0 < "decimal number"< 10)*10^("numbers of zeros")
    remember: 18=1.8*color(red)(10)
    => 1.8*color(red)(10)*10^9=1.8*10^(9+color(red)(1))=1.8*10^(10)
