Step-by-step 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)
