Answer 2

3.50678 x 10^7

Explanation:

35,067,800

We need to write the given number in scientific notation

All whole numbers have a decimal point at the end

35067800 .

To get scientific notation we move the decimal point after the first number

so we move decimal point 7 places to the left

3.5067800

when we move 7 places to the left we multiply by 10^7

3.50678 x 10^7
