Answer:

3.7 * 10^8

Explanation:

370,000,000

Scientific notation is of the form

a * 10^b where a is between 1 and less than 10

We move the decimal 8 places to the left to get a between 1 and less than 10

3.70000000

We moved the decimal 8 places to the left so b is +8

(left is positive right is negative)

3.7 * 10^8

We can drop the zeros to the right of the last nonzero digit after the decimal
