Question

The gdp of Brazil in 2008 was roughly 1.6 trillion, How do you write this in scientific notation

Answer 1

1,600,000,000,000 1.6x10^12

Answer 2

`1.6* 10^(12)`

Explanation:

As we know a trillion has 12 zeros so GDP of Brazil which is roughly 1.6 trillion can be written as 1.6×1000000000000

A scientific notation of any number is in the form of
`10^(x)`

Now this number can be written as
`1.6* 10^(12)` which is a scientific notation of 1.6 trillion.
