Answer:


7.8 * 10^(10) is scientific notation of 78 billion

Explanation:

For scientific notation , follow the following notation:


a * 10^(b) -------->(equation 1)

Let,
a^(') = 78 billion


a^(') = 78000000000


a^(') = 78000000000.0

In standard form


a = 7.8000000000

or


a = 7.8

As decimal point move 10 places from right to left, therefore

b = 10

Put the value of 'a' and 'b' in (equation 1)


7.8 * 10^(10) is scientific notation of 78 billion
