Answer 1

Explanation:

The given number is 7,594,000,000.

To convert it into scientific notation,

First move the decimal point places to the left to find a number that is greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. Then multiply by 10 , using an exponent on 10 that equals the number of places you moved the decimal. The exponent is negative if the original no was <1 and the exponent is positive, if the original number was > 1.

In 7,594,000,000, we move the decimal point places to the left before 5. It means we have moved 9 digits left.

Hence,
`7,594,000,000=7.59* 10^9` is the scientific notation.
