Answer:

1 .205 * 10^20

Explanation:

120,500,000,000,000,000,000

To change to scientific notation, move the decimal to the left until there is only 1 number to the left of the decimal

1 .20500000000000000000

We moved the decimal 20 places to the left so the exponent on the 10 is 20.

1 .20500000000000000000 * 10^20

We can drop the extra zero's at the end ( after the decimal).

1 .205 * 10^20
