Answer:

4.86 × 10^7

Explanation:

Scientific notation is a way of writing very large or very small numbers. A number is written in scientific notation when a number between 1 and 10 is multiplied by a power of 10.

For example, 650,000,000 can be written in scientific notation as 6.5 × 10^8

So;

48,600,000 = 4.86 × 10^7

count backward to the last number.
