Answer:

312,000,000

Explanation:

Standard notation is when you move the decimal however many times the 10 is being squared by. In this case, it is 8.

Since the 8 is not negative, we move it 8 times to the right.

Since there are only 2 digits, we add 6 more zeros because 2+6=8

that is how you get 312,000,000
