Answer 2

Answer: The correct way to write the given number is
`1.55* 10^9`

Explanation :

Scientific notation is defined as the method of representing a number which is very large or very small in the form of decimals. In this notation, the number is always written in the power of 10.

For example: 35000 is written as
`3.5* 10^4` of 0.00035 is written as
`3.5* 10^(-4)`

In the question, we are given a value of 1,550,000,000.

The scientific notation for the given numerical value will be
`1.55* 10^9`

Hence, the correct way to write the given number is
`1.55* 10^9`
