STEP 1

We convert the 5 years to months.

Since there are 12 months in 1 year, therefore in 5 years we would have:

12 x 5 years= 60 months

STEP 2

Since the athlete would earn $1.3 x 10^6 per month

In 5 years she would earn


\begin{gathered} 1.3*10^6*\text{ 60} \\ 78*10^6 \\ \\ \end{gathered}

STEP 3

we would convert the solution to scientific notation, therefore the answer is


7.8*10^7

In conclusion, the answer is $ 7.8 x 10^7
