Answer:

4.86 x10^7

Explanation:

1. Must be between 1 and 10, the number cannot be 10.

2. Count decimal places to get to the dot.

3. That will be the power at the top of the 10.

4. If number is small, that power will be negative, but positive if number is big. E.g. 0.0001 (small) & 10000 (big)

4.86 x10^7

Hope this helps!
