Answer:

5.9 × 10^10

Explanation:

59,000,000,000

The number part has to be between 1 and 10, so it will be 5.9

The decimal point moves from the right of the last zero 10 places to the left to between the 5 and the 9. The exponent is the same number as the number of places the decimal point moves left. The exponent is 10.

59,000,000,000 = 5.9 × 10^10
