Answer:

2,400,000,000,000

Explanation:

2.4 x 10^12 means that the decimal point is moved 12 places to the right (hence the power of 12)

So by moving the decimal point 12 times you get this: 2,400,000,000,000

The reason why there are only 11 zeroes is because the 4 was a decimal place to the right of 2, thus losing a zero.
