To put the number in scientific notation must put it between 1 and 10 times 10^x

Where x is the number of decimals

48,020,000 = 4.802 * 10^x

To find x count that we move the decimal point how many places

The decimal point is after the last zero

How many places to be between 4 and 8

There are 7 places between the last 0 and 4

So the answer is


4.8020*10^7
