For this case we have an expression of the form:

a * e (b)
We can rewrite this expression in scientific notation as:

a * 10 ^ b
Where,
a: coefficient of scientific notation
b: base ten exponent
We then have the following expression:

1.8e10
Rewriting we have:

1.8 * 10 ^ {10}
Answer:

1.8e10 = 1.8 * 10 ^ {10}
