Answer:

2600000000

Explanation:

When turning things in scientific notation into standard notation, you should first see where the decimal is in the term that is NOT 10 to a power. In this case, the decimal is to the tenths place. So we have to multiply it by 1000000000, but an easier way to do so is to just move the decimal to the right 9 times.
