Answer:

9.296E7 miles

9.296 x 10^7

Both answers

Step-by-step explanation:

This number is greater than 1, so the power of 10 in scientific notation will be positive. Place the decimal point after the first digit, 9, to get the first factor as 9.296. The decimal point moved 7 places to the left, so the power of 10 is 7. Write the distance 92,960,000 miles in scientific notation as 9.296E7 miles or 9.296 × 107 miles.
